Macomb Township has relocated their municipal offices on a vacant 79-acre parcel. Private developers will develop the remaining square mile. The Center will feature a mix of four carefully planned neighborhoods that focus on the traditions of neighborhood, style, and proximity to commercial and governmental operations. Entertainment in this "turn of the century" setting will feature among other things, parks and restaurants within walking distance.
Residential development will be a planned use of single family and multiple family dwellings crafted with architectural care. Approximately 2500 residential units are planned. Developers and builders will be restricted in building designs. All exterior architectural styles, must comply with the Town Center zoning restrictions. The homes will feature rear entrance garages with private drives.
Macomb Township has been one of the fastest growing communities in Southeast Michigan. The Board of Trustees has taken steps to plan for anticipated future growth. The Town Center will be directly connected to two nearby parks and a municipal golf course. A series of hiking trails and bike paths are also being considered.
The Macomb Township Board has constructed this New Town Hall without a tax increase! Macomb Township has the fourth lowest millage rate in Macomb County.
The infrastructure for this project started in the spring of 1999 with sewer lines being extended. The Macomb County Road Commission approved the Township plan to extend Broughton Road. Construction of this road is now under way.
As the Town Center area develops, more interest will be generated. This in turn will spur more growth in the area for commercial and residential construction. All of this will help keep the Town Center a bustling, vibrant part of Macomb Township, Michigan. Overall, the Macomb Township Town Center project holds many promises for the future!
