The Treefort Collective

Casual coworking space downtown Traverse City.

The Michigan Land Use Institute works with citizens, officials, and other organizations to build a prosperous new economy in Michigan, one that expands opportunity by improving our health and environment. Specifically, we promote people-friendly, regional planning; healthy food from local farms; and Michigan's leadership in the new green-energy and clean-water economy. These strategies save people money and build local economies. With them, we can make Michigan, once again, a great place to live, work, and call home. Getting there, however, requires new ideas for new situations. That's what MLUI provides. We keep the majority's vision in front of decision makers. And we work with people and communities to raise their voices, make their points, and see their way through to a better solution.
