Michigan Land Use Institute Charity Profile

The Michigan Land Use Institute was founded in 1995 to establish an approach to economic development that strengthens communities, enhances opportunity, and protects the state's unmatched natural resources. Our mission from the beginning has been to help Michigan avoid the patterns of suburban sprawl and over-development that cause traffic congestion, pollution, loss of community, rising costs to individuals and governments, and a deteriorating quality of life.

These ideas are becoming more widespread in Michigan. Across the state, farmers and business owners, environmentalists and industrialists, urban leaders and suburban homeowners have discovered common ground in the hard work of halting sprawl. A new neighborhood-based grassroots movement has emerged to improve how land is used.

The Institute and other leaders of this movement are laying the foundation for new policies at the state and local levels. Such policies will redirect economic investments to improve Michigan's cities, and to encourage the construction of affordable neighborhoods near downtowns where homes, shops, businesses, schools, and civic institutions are in close proximity.
