The Creative Placemaking Summit 3 took place on October 11, 2017 at the Lansing Center. The MCG was fortunate enough to be among the roster of presenters detailing significant placemaking initiatives throughout the Lansing region and beyond. It was to our great delight that 58 individuals attended the Michigan Creativity Group presentation (including Lansing area business/state leaders: Chris Holman, Darcy Kerr, and Edythe Hatter-Williams) with many expressing their interest and appreciation for our work. Jeff Croley read a poem on the evolution of his creativity before one of the afternoon sessions and to close the day.
