Welcome to SEMCOG's Think Regional/Act Local blog! SEMCOG is the only organization in Southeast Michigan that brings together all governments to solve regional challenges and enhance the quality of life for the seven-county regions 4.7 million residents. With this regional perspective in mind, we work with member local governments to sustain our regions reputation as a great place to work, play, and do business.

 

Our panel of SEMCOG staff bloggers will post daily to this blog, discussing SEMCOG's data, federal and state legislative issues, and environmental and fiscal sustainability best practices for local governments all with the goal of creating a successful future for the region.

Think Regional/Act Local

Member Services? What kind of services?

(Transportation, Walkability bikeability, SEMCOG Member Services, Environment, Stormwater management, Green infrastructure, Best Practice) Permanent link

“I didn’t know SEMCOG did that…”
“How much does that cost?...”

 

These are typical comments and questions we hear at SEMCOG when we start working with our members on a specific project. At SEMCOG, I have the privilege of working with an extremely talented group of people focusing on providing direct services to SEMCOG members.

 

From transportation issues, including: traffic safety, pedestrian and bikeability, and access management – to environmental topics, like: green infrastructure and meeting Phase II stormwater requirements – to neighborhood stabilization techniques – to understanding the transportation funding options…our staff can help.

 

I look forward to sharing some of our success stories and encourage you to consider becoming one of them. You can start by checking out our Member Services Web page – and be sure to read my post next Wednesday. In it, I’ll be discussing how changes to the U.S. Census Urbanized Area might impact your Phase II stormwater permit requirements.
