About This Site
|
Marquette County is one of five counties chosen to participate in a project called Information Technology for Intergovernmental Cooperation (ITIC). ITIC is a grant funded project that demonstrates a new approach to improving and supporting communications between local units of government within Michigan's counties - with a special emphasis on land use planning and sustainable community development. Using simple and direct computer-based communication systems that support and encourage coordinated decision-making and land use planning, this innovative approach fosters new collaboration and cooperation between schools, local units of government, and regional agencies.
This Community Center (CC) is a multimedia encyclopedia all about Marquette County - including text, graphics, and detailed interactive maps. The CIS has been developed with the help of the Intergovernmental Cooperation Committee, including dozens of community representatives, citizens and officials. Together they have compiled information about Marquette County's history, local governments, schools, community organizations, business, parks, cultural features, and natural resources. The CIS is an expanding information resource available to everyone.
