All member cities receive a vote. As well, in celebration of the broad Suburbs Alliance community, we'll feature our partner organizations and collaborative projects.

Letter from the Staff
May 2008
Loving the City of River Rouge
by Brittany Galisdorfer, Project Coordinator
Having worked for the Suburbs Alliance for nearly four years now, I must admit, I'd never visited River Rouge. The city's name invoked visions of Ford's River Rouge plant (even though plant operations moved to Dearborn years ago) and smokestacks. As I drove down Coolidge Highway for my first visit one chilly evening in late March, the seemingly endless power lines and passing stream of semi-trucks fulfilled my low expectations.
But I was about to be proven very, very wrong.
