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. This deliberative process includes broad-based representation from local governments, the business community, environmental organizations, and other special interest citizen groups.

Nonresidential development data that are collected and reported include the following project types: entertainment/recreational, hotels, industrial/research/hi-tech, institutional, medical facilities, office, retail, transportation/utility, and warehouses. Projects included in this report are either newly constructed buildings or additions/expansions to existing buildings and must be at least 10,000 square feet of gross floorspace. The build status of each project in this report is as the project stood as of December 31, 2002. Data may change as the project progresses. Renovations to existing buildings (that do not add new floorspace) are documented in Appendix C, but are not included in total floorspace calculations. The Southeast Michigan region comprises the seven counties of Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne. Regional Summary Despite a somewhat flat national economy, the Southeast Michigan region performed particularly well in 2002 with over 48 million square feet of nonresidential floorspace completed and/or under-construction for the year (Table 1). Completed projects contributed 28 million square feet of space, and under-construction projects accounted for another 20 million square feet. The region showed its resilience
