Announcement of the MIplace Partnership, the state's new effort designed to improve the quality of key places in targeted Michigan municipalities and help those communities become more globally competitive with attraction and retention of talent.

The new MIplace Partnership Web site is Michigan's one-stop shop for everything about placemaking – what it is, where it's happening across the state, and how to get started. www.miplace.org offers inspirational first-hand accounts of Pure Michigan placemaking success stories, rich photography and videos, and the opportunity to engage in lively group discussions through the MIplace Facebook page at facebook.com/MIplace2012.
The announcement kicks off the 2012 Building Michigan Communities Conference (formerly the Michigan Conference on Affordable Housing) in Lansing.
