West Bloomfield Township Community Development Department
Hosts Booth at Orchard Lake Fine Art Show
 

Staff from the Planning and Building/Inspection Division hosted a booth Friday evening, July 30 and all day Saturday, July 31 and Sunday, August 1, 2010 at the Orchard Lake Fine Art Show in West Bloomfield. The booth featured a community development display (code enforcement, planning, and building/inspection divisions) as well as informative brochures and handouts. Staff also distributed junior inspector hard hats, crayons, and color books for the younger attendees. And let me tell you, these kids circulate around the event and create the buzz for the junior inspector hard hats. We passed out over a hundred yellow and pink hats.

This year's goal was an effort to help promote the community development department; why is the Building Codes Professional important? What does a Building Official do, a Building Inspector, and who needs a building permit and why? We also included planning division information; updated master plan, clear zoning, new wind and solar ordinances, and show case some township properties. The feedback from the show was outstanding.

My team is working on our next event later this year in October. This show is an effort to help local businesses that offer products and services  by offering them a venue to showcase their products and services to local consumers.
