Why Michigan Should Embrace Zoning Reform

The Mackinaw Center's Issues & Ideas Forum hosted a session entitled "Why Michigan Should Embrace Zoning Reform". The three guest panelists included Joshua Lunger of the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce, Jessica Letaw who is an activist and organizer in Ann Arbor, and Emily Hamilton an urban economic and land-use policy scholar of George Mason University.
