Creating an Entrepreneurial Culture
Retooling our Existing Workforce and Educating our Future Workforce
Attracting and Retaining Talent

Shaping Responsive Government
The goals of developing a Shiawassee Sub Regional Plan are:
- To build trust and regional cooperation
- To organize Shiawassee County into a cohesive group that will be able to move forward together in a unified direction. Once this goal is achieved, Shiawassee County will be able to function as its own region and have access to both state and federal funding resources
- To give Shiawassee county a greater voice on the regional stage and to identify which region is the best fit for us in the future in regard to community and economic development collaborations
- The long term goal of this plan is to give our community a voice in the Region V Community Economic Development Plan.
The final working plan will be completed by year’s end. Stay tuned for additional information.
