Some examples of activities they have done are tours of their neighborhood to problem-solve solutions to environmental issues, view contaminated sites in Southwest Detroit, and see Crosswinds Marsh.

0 - Michigan Suburbs Alliance
Over the past couple of years, you may have noticed that your community library is no longer open on Saturdays. Maybe some neighborhood schools were closed, or your city stopped garbage collection and you now have to get rid of it yourself. You might have even seen a FOR SALE sign on City Hall's front lawn. It's not that your city does not want to provide these services anymore - the problem is that it can't afford to. Cities all over the state are financially stressed, but older, established cities are especially hurting. Many are actually on the brink of falling into bankruptcy and losing their administrative control to the state government.
