I think you will be very impressed with our city and the services that we provide. We are a small city of approximately 1100 people. We are located within an hour’s drive of Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Mt Pleasant.
We have a very clean city thanks to our Pubic Works employees who are always working with our residents to ensure that brush, leaves, etc. are picked up on a regular basis. We have a new 500,000-gallon water tower and have replaced some of our infrastructure with new water and sewer lines. We are a zoned community with a Planning Commission that works with homeowners on improvement requests.
We have our own Police Department. We have a volunteer Fire Department that serves our city and surrounding townships. Our volunteer firefighters have a presence in our schools as they visit and help educate students on fire safety.
Our hospital is a state-of-the-art facility affiliated with Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.
Sparrow Carson Hospital has a very modern Emergency Room, a 64 slice CT scanner, and a new technologically equipped Imaging Department. The employees of Sparrow Carson are very friendly and provide professional and personal care to their patients. For further information go to www.sparrow.org/sparrowcarson
