State of the cities focuses on developments ADDRESS HIGHLIGHTS NORTHLAND, PARKS, SUSTAINABILITY BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD/LATHRUP VILLAGE — The city at “the center of it all” talked of aspirations for 2023 and beyond at the annual state of the cities address March 27. Lathrup Village Mayor Kelly Garrett opened the panel with an inspirational statement. “I want to talk about your dash. If you can figure it out, it’s when you were born and when your life is over. That dash is everything you do, how you treated somebody and how you gave back to your community. Make that dash meaningful. Because I know when I’m not here, it’s not going to say ‘mayor’ on my headstone, because that’s the least important thing.” Reflecting on the difficulty she faced in 2022 while trying to rediscover herself after the tragic loss of her only child at the end of 2021, Garrett advised the audience that this would be her last speech. After six years as the mayor and 12 years on council, Garrett announced that she would not be running again because everything she ran on is done.

Because it’s very visible,” Mayor Ken Siver said. TOP: Siver announced that a new, smaller Costco, geared towards businesses, is coming to Southfield and will be the first of its kind in Michigan.
