The City of Adrian, Jackson Community College, Lenawee Intermediate School District (LISD), Adrian Area Chamber/Chamber Alliance and the Lenawee Economic Development Corporation are working with other community partners to bring this presentation to Lenawee County.

Join us for a presentation to find out how 2 young entrepreneurs took action in Detroit and seized opportunities to clean up blighted neighborhoods and capitalize on business opportunities.

Learn how they did it, and their thoughts on how Lenawee County can do the same!
