Wixom is creating city life in its suburban backyard to
attract potential residents who may eye homes elsewhere.
In an area along Pontiac Trail, there is a cluster of townhouses, condos and a commercial building. The structures are stacked in two and three stories, with parking on the streets behind them. This is Wixom's answer to luring people downtown and reducing a half century of sprawl in southeastern Michigan. "It's locating density in an attractive place where people want to live," said Jim Clarke, president of Robertson Brothers in Bloomfield Hills, which has worked on the first phase of a $210-million project with developer Larry Cohen. The second phase of development is set to kick off this year. Like Wixom officials, other planners said limitations should be set for the sprawl, which spreads financial resources from the epicenter of Detroit into the northern reaches of Oakland and Macomb counties. But others like big-box retailers, and builders are reluctant to create boundaries, saying allowing growth to flourish is good for the economy. From 2000 to early last summer, about 85,000 people moved into the 16 fastest-growing communities in northern Oakland and Macomb counties. There, people are finding more affordable, larger properties that fit their lifestyles.
The MTA is a true alliance in that its members are dedicated to stopping the state from increasing taxes from any segment of Michigan citizens, even those that government sees as an 'easy mark' due to their relative unpopularity; i.e. smokers, alcohol drinkers, "big business", small business, gamblers, "bad drivers", "the wealthy", farmers, or any other taxpayer regardless of their political vulnerability. The MTA is a
federally registered 501(c)4 organization dedicated to taxpayer education and
advocacy for reduced state spending and a reduced overall tax burden. Click HERE to learn more and join.
New Downtown Wixom on Display The "Grand Opening" of the the new Downtown Wixom took place on Friday July 21, 2006 and the display was impressive indeed. Many Wixom businesses and community organizations were present and did a wonderful job showing off our new community center of attraction. Great food and music added much to the festive atmosphere and the crowds seemed pleased and impressed with the display. Congratulations to our elected officials, city management and all who worked so hard on making this New Downtown a reality.
