Placemaking is Thursday, June 18th from 5:30 – 6:30 PM in the Buchanan Art Center, located at 117 W.
Front St., in Buchanan Michigan. Join Andrew Haan, from Governor Snyder’s Office of Urban & Metrolpolitan Initiatives, and Jim Tischler, from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to learn about Michigan Placemaking.
Great places are economic drivers for communities, and are particularly important in small cities and towns. They promote a sense of civic pride, attract visitors, and enhance the quality of residents' lives. In an era of limited resources, it is increasingly important to target investments that will build upon communities' existing strengths. Learn how Michigan has become a leader in Placemaking, and how small communities can benefit from undertaking Placemaking strategies. Participants will learn Placemaking fundamentals: how to identify opportunities, vision for the future, and transform “spaces" into extraordinary, economy-boosting “places".
