Downtown Mount Clemens stakeholders want to show just what the center of their city is capable of.
The city will be holding its Downtown Mount Clemens Property Tour on Thursday, Sept. 24, the same day as its annual ArtParty. The tour will feature 30 move-in ready commercial properties inside the downtown.
Mount Clemens has gone through a bit of a business growth spurt this year, welcoming five new or expanded businesses. More are also in the works, but that doesn't mean there isn't room to grow in the central business district. Holding the tour during one of its major events is expected to show just how fertile the area is these days.
"We really wanted to showcase downtown Mt. Clemens when we have a lot of people on the streets," says Arthur Mullen, executive director of the Mount Clemens Downtown Development Authority. "We feel it's a great way for people to come and experience the downtown and talk to the people there."
The tour will be self-guided, with docents at individual properties and extensive information packets detailing support services, benefits, and demographics. Goodie bags with gift items from several businesses and information packs highlighting the community, its strengths, and why it is such a good investment will also be given away.
The event will be held from 3-7 p.m. at the ArtParty's welcome center, 61 Macomb Place. For information about the Downtown Mount Clemens Property Tour, contact Arthur Mullen at (586) 469-4168 or afmullen2@yahoo.com.
