Delta County MI Commissioners Meeting (06/03/25): Hiring, Inspections, and Botony Kayaks

Delta County is increasingly gaining recognition as a prime destination for investment, development, and quality-of-life enhancements.

In recent years, community stakeholders have shown a strong commitment to shaping the county into one of the best places to live, work, create, play, celebrate, and pursue greater economic and social opportunity. 

A number of positive initiatives are taking root, forming a model that other communities are beginning to observe and consider. Attending or viewing county and local government meetings offers valuable insight into the region’s direction and ongoing progress.

A helpful resource to explore is the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), which provides best practices in public finance and governance.
