One Lenawee is a group of Lenawee citizens who passionately desire that Lenawee County be the best possible place for our children and grandchildren to live.
ONE LENAWEE VISION STATEMENT:
“Lenawee County will be recognized as the premier rural place in Michigan to live, work, learn, worship and play!”
ONE LENAWEE STRATEGY STATEMENT TO BRING ABOUT VISION:
“One Lenawee will identify, support and develop efforts and projects that make optimal use of community resources and will result in progress toward the vision.”
KEY STRATEGIES/GOALS:
Our reasonable cost of living, small towns and villages, and proximity to nearby cities allow the locals to enjoy the simplicity, safety and charm of a small community while just a short drive to great metropolitan museums, fine restaurants, entertainment and shopping. We have excellent healthcare locally, with easy access to more specialized hospitals in Toledo, Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and Jackson.
We're the home of Adrian College, Siena Heights University and Jackson Community College. They and the Lenawee Intermediate School District (LISD) provide many opportunities for continuing adult education. Advance degrees are available locally or within easy commute. And, if you're a college sports fan, we have excellent football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, soccer and hockey teams.
Our abundance of lakes, parks, and golf courses make Lenawee County a great playground and vacation spot. The Michigan International Speedway boasts a proud 42-year history of hosting America's best racing action on its 1,400 acres in the scenic Irish Hills. Hidden Lake Gardens is a 755-acre arboretum managed by Michigan State University. And the Lenawee County Fair is the oldest county fair in Michigan.
The Adrian Symphony, Croswell Opera House, Tecumseh Center for the Arts, Adrian College and Siena Heights University theaters and art departments, Lenawee Council for the Visual Arts and the Community Arts of Tecumseh provide many opportunities for our residents to both enjoy and participate in the arts.
Our public and private schools offer college credit agreements with many different colleges, making it easy for high school students to jump start their college work. Our LISD TECH Center is the envy of other Michigan schools. We offer excellent private schools: Lenawee Christian (K-12) and St. Joseph Academy (Montessori/K-4).
Lenawee offers numerous resources for small business entrepreneurs, including the Adrian College Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives), Lenawee Economic Development Corporation, Michigan Small Business and Technology Development Center, South Central Michigan Works!, the Adrian Public Library and Jackson Community College.
