Spring has always symbolized new beginnings, and here in Mount Clemens, that spirit of renewal is all around us.
Your City Commission and City Administration have been hard at work on two of the most important responsibilities we carry: shaping our City’s Strategic Plan and preparing the 2026/2027 budget. These reports help ensure that every decision we make today supports a stronger, more vibrant, Mount Clemens tomorrow. Thoughtful planning, fiscal responsibility, and a clear vision for the future remain at the heart of everything we do.
Welcome newly elected City Commissioner, Roxanne Brown. Commissioner Brown was formerly a member of the Mount Clemens Planning Commission and long-time resident of Mount Clemens. We also said goodbye to Barb Dempsey who served her last meeting as City Commissioner on November 3, 2025. Please join us in thanking Barb for her many years of service to the residents of Mount Clemens.
Across the city, progress continues with several exciting projects. The Downtown Revitalization Project is entering its final phase, with the finishing touches bringing new life, beauty, and accessibility to our downtown streets. The Great Lakes Water Authority connection project is in full swing—an important investment in the longterm reliability and quality of our water infrastructure. And the City Commission is actively working to select a design team for our future City Hall and Fire Station, an initiative that will modernize essential services and create a welcoming civic space for generations to come.
As the days grow longer and warmer, I also encourage everyone to take full advantage of the many programs offered through Mount Clemens Parks and Recreation. Whether it’s fitness classes, youth activities, special events, or simply enjoying the outdoors, our parks and facilities are here for you. Take a stroll through one of our beautiful parks, gather with family and friends, or try something new—you’ll be amazed at what our community has to offer.
Spring is a reminder that growth is not only possible—it’s happening right here. Thank you for being part of this journey and for continuing to believe in the future of Mount Clemens. Together, we are building a city that is stronger, more connected, and full of promise.
With gratitude and optimism,
Mayor Laura Kropp
