Vibrant, welcoming public spaces can help enrich quality of life and become destinations for residents and visitors alike.
With its vast network of public parks, infrastructure, community gathering spaces, and a vibrant downtown, Pontiac is rich with public spaces that encourage communities to interact and connect.
The Pontiac Funders Collaborative aims to invest in collaborative, shovel-ready, public space projects that include effective community engagement. These investments will provide tactical support in service to a bigger strategy or leverage funding through local, state, regional, national, and private investors.
