The public comment period is open for the document that will guide the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, or SEMCOG, over the next fiscal year.

The FY 2022-2023 Work Program for Southeast Michigan serves as the basis for all SEMCOG work, including the planning work of transportation planning partners. It is a vital document that serves as the foundation for grant applications, interagency financial pass-through agreements, and SEMCOG’s Annual Operating Budget. According to a release, as the Work Program is implemented, many of the resulting products are guided by SEMCOG’s Executive Committee and/or General assembly.

A draft of the document is viewable here: https://smcg.informz.net/SMCG/data/images/SEMCOG%20Work%20Program_2022_2023.pdf

There are multiple ways to leave comment. Send comments by mail to SEMCOG’s Information Center, 1001 Woodward Avenue, Suite 1400, Detroit, MI 48226-1904.
