Connecting Lapeer, Macomb, Oakland & St. Clair Counties
In the spring of 2006, members of Four County Community Foundation attended a meeting regarding Small Town and Rural Development. The conference featured discussions about planned growth in communities and emphasized what was good and unique about small towns.
Four County Community Foundation covers parts of four counties; Lapeer, St. Clair, Oakland and Macomb. Our service area includes growth with major roads leading north, south/east and west. All the communities wish to keep the small town, rural feeling in their individual towns with controlled growth.
One way to support our local businesses and cultural opportunities was to publish the information that was unique to each of our towns. Each town has small treasures in the form of parks, nature trails, festival and fairs, orchards and You-Pick farms, cultural events, farmer’s markets and historical buildings.
When we listed all the treasures in our area, we found we had a treasure chest full of delights to share with the rest of our state and beyond.
Come taste our treasures. Stop by and enjoy our small towns and villages. Settle back in a local restaurant and slow down. Experience a quiet way of life.
Hope to see you soon!
