What started over a year ago as a discussion between the Howell, Brighton and Hartland Chambers of Commerce and culminated with the involvement of 800 interested citizens from the private, public, non-profit, faith-based and education communities, Livingston County is getting ready to unveil "Advantage Livingston".

Similar to the process that created the "Grand Vision" in the Northwest Michigan, "Advantage Livingston" looks to put forth a vision for increased and sustainable prosperity throughout Livingston County in alignment with many of the assets found in the League's Center for 21st Century Communities program.

The kick-off event is scheduled for April 13th at 7:30 am at Crystal Gardens, where the featured speaker will be Govenror Snyder's Director of Strategy, Bill Rustem. The event is open to the public and while there is no charge to attend or reservation required a RSVP is appreciated through either the Howell Area Chamber of Commerce, Greater Brighton Area Chamber of Hartland Area Chamber.
