ABOUT THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY
This urban City is home to fewer than 25,000 residents and situated along the West shores of Lake Michigan. Your drive is 10 minutes or less to a lake, river, or a beach. With a strong pride in community and local high school sports, this City is home to 1 high school, 1 middle-school, and 4 elementary schools, equipped with full-service City Hall, 24/7 Police and Fire Station, and a seasonal farmer’s and flea market. In the adjacent city you can attend semi-professional basketball, football, baseball and hockey games. All year, you can indulge in the essence of all 4 seasons with their distinctive aromas, indoor and outdoor activities, and festivities. The City is remedying years of real-estate inflicted poverty, and an increase in petty crime. In order to address disorganization in local government, the City is upgrading technology, implementing budgeting protocols, restructuring departments and launching new police initiatives. This is a unique opportunity to join the ground-floor of the reorganization by setting the new status-quo.
