Policy Agenda: Moving Macomb Forward

The responsibility of the County Executive is to implement a strategy and to put in place a platform that will secure Macomb's bright future. Focusing on the duties tasked to the executive by the new County Charter, the platform focuses on five specific policy agendas.

Macomb County is at a defining moment in its history. Voters enacted a new County Charter, which offers Macomb County government an opportunity to redefine the way it provides service.

Each policy will contribute directly to bringing new businesses and residents to our county.
