Detroit, MI - The Wayne County Commission has passed a resolution supporting the first annual Cruisin’ Michigan cruise and car show.

“Michigan Avenue has a tremendous automotive endowment and heritage,” said Commissioner Kevin McNamara (D-Canton Township). “The corridor includes the world headquarters of the Ford Motor Company and many other automotive facilities, factories and museums.”

The five communities are teaming up with automotive enthusiast Don Nicholson, local car clubs, chambers of commerce and corporate sponsors for Cruisin’ Michigan.

“This event will provide significant economic benefits for the businesses located along Michigan Avenue,” said Commissioner Ronaele Bowman (D-Westland), who co-sponsored the resolution with McNamara. “Local service organizations such as the Kiwanis, Rotary and other clubs that will be able to sell merchandise to support their missions.
