My name is Alana Tartaro, and I’m going to be interning here at the Groundwork Center for the next eight weeks. While I’m here I’ll primarily be working on transportation issues and the “Oil and Water Don’t Mix” campaign.
MLUI is now the Groundwork Center
The Michigan Land Use Institute is now the Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities. The nonprofit advocacy center celebrated its 20th anniversary on May 13 with a standing-room only event at the Franklin restaurant in downtown Traverse City-and kicked off its future with the new name.
MLUI takes first place in crowdfunding competition
The work to bring passenger rail to Traverse City is off to a good start thanks to a quick crowdfunding effort that raised almost $19,000 in ten days.
