The Southeast Michigan Council of Governments has a GREEN Task Force focused the region’s green infrastructure, and Port Huron City Manager James Freed was recently appointed to the organization.
Green infrastructure is the environmental assets of a community, both natural and constructed, that contribute to the health and quality of life of residents. The GREEN Task Force members will work together to ensure that the region’s green infrastructure network are equitable, resilient, and they seek to improve quality of life in Southeast Michigan Communities.
The Task Force is led by co-chairs Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett and Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud.
In response to his appointment, Freed said, “Our natural resources are not only our greatest community treasure, they are also economic drivers. As the father of two, I want to work with regional partners to help ensure our kids inherit a vibrant and sustainable community.”
