Small City, Impressive Services

I think you will be very impressed with our city and the services that we provide. We are a small city of approximately 1100 people. We are located within an hours drive of Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Mt Pleasant.

We have a very clean city thanks to our Pubic Works' employees who are always working with our residents to ensure that brush, leaves, etc. are picked up on a regular basis. We have a new 500,000-gallon water tower and have replaced some of our infrastructure with new water and sewer lines.We are a zoned community with a Planning Commission that works with homeowners on improvement requests.

We have our own Police Department. We have a volunteer Fire Department that serves our city and surrounding townships. Our volunteer firefighters have a presence in our schools as they visit and help educate students on fire safety.

Sparrow Carson Hospital

Our hospital is a state of the art facility affiliated with Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.
Sparrow Carson Hospital has a very modern Emergency Room, a 64 slice CT scanner, and a new technologically equipped Imaging Department. The employees of Sparrow Carson are very friendly and provide professional and personal care to their patients. For further information go to www.sparrow.org/sparrowcarson

Education

We have a very good school system. The students give their best and are inspired by well trained teachers. Our schools offer a safe and secure learning environment and more than 85% of our graduates go on to pursue further education and training. The school offers many extracurricular activities, including may athletic teams and clubs, for students to stay involved in their after school time. Our elementary school received a grade of "A" and the middle and high school received a grade "B" from the State of Michigan assessment.
