Location

Livingston County exists in a unique geographic location. In the past, the county’s two cities have both used logos based on transportation- and location-related graphics, and for good reason.

A 40-mile radius from the center of the county encompasses four metropolitan areas — Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing and Flint — that are home to major employment centers, major research institutions and major cultural and recreational opportunities.

That a major north/south route in the state (U.S. 23) and two major east/west routes (I-96 and M-59) intersect in Livingston County provides unique opportunities.

One of these unique opportunities is Michigan’s new Life Sciences Corridor, stretching from Michigan State University to our west, the University of Michigan to our south and Wayne State University to our east. The Life Sciences Corridor is attracting highly educated and skilled workers for good-paying jobs.
