    Nonresidential Development Activity in Southeast Michigan, 2002

    Nonresidential Development Activity in Southeast Michigan, 2002 May 2003 SEMCOG . Local Governments Advancing Southeast Michigan Southeast Michigan Council of Governments ... Local Governments Advancing Southeast Michigan Mission SEMCOG’s mission is solving regional planning problems — improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the region’s local governments as well as the quality of life in Southeast Michigan. Essential functions are: • providing a forum for addressing issues which extend beyond individual governmental boundaries by fostering collaborative regional planning, and • facilitating intergovernmental relations among local governments and state and federal agencies. As a regional planning partnership in Southeast Michigan, SEMCOG is accountable to local governments who join as members. Membership is open to all counties, cities, villages, townships, intermediate school districts, and community colleges in Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties. Responsibilities SEMCOG’s principal activities support local planning through use of SEMCOG’s technical, data, and intergovernmental resources. In collaboration with local governments, SEMCOG has responsibility for adopting regionwide plans and policies for community and economic development, water and air quality, land use, and transportation, including approval of state and federal transportation projects. Funding for SEMCOG is provided by federal and state grants, contracts, and membership fees. Policy decision making All SEMCOG policy decisions are made by local elected officials, ensuring that regional policies reflect the interests of member communities. Participants serve on one or both of the policymaking bodies — the General Assembly and the Executive Committee. Prior to policy adoption, technical advisory councils provide the structure for gaining input on transportation, environment, community and economic development, data analysis, and education.
