Community Support

​

The Beck Road Business Corridor Improvement Project enjoys formal declarations of support from communities along the Corridor and from communities outside the corridor as well.

​

Resolutions of support have been passed by the following governing bodies:

 

• City of Wixom

• City of Novi

• Oakland County Board of Commissioners

• City of Plymouth  

 

We also have letters of supports from other communities and agencies including: 

 

• Southeastern Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) 

• Plymouth Township

• Road Commission for Oakland County

• Michigan International Technology Center, a site-specific Brownfield Authority inclusive of Plymouth Township, Northville Township and the Michigan Land Bank

Business Support

​

Businesses along the Beck Road Corridor recognize the necessity of the project.  This understanding is demonstrated by formal letters of support from ten businesses on the Corridor.

 

Bonding for Local Match

​

The Cities of Wixom and Novi have also committed to this project, and the bonding required to meet a significant commitment of local match for external funding sources.

​

Right of Way Status

​

The Cities of Wixom and Novi have already obtained over 70% of Right-of-Way necessary to complete this much-needed project in their respective communities.  Both communities also have active and ongoing strategies for acquisition of the remaining Right-of-Way required to see this project become a reality. 

 

This current status is a key differentiator for the Beck to the Future Initiative, as it demonstrates that this project has long been a priority for our communities.  It likewise represents a level of commitment, investment and, most importantly, a level of readiness/preparedness that is highly unusual.  These communities are at an advanced state of readiness and will be ready to put shovels into the ground quickly when funding commitments are received.
