With The Electric City Project, Sturgis Takes It Higher
About this episode
The episode discusses Sturgis's history of local electricity production and the recent Electric City Project aimed at revitalizing the downtown area.
Long before many communities generated their own power, Sturgis was producing electricity locally, helping shape a civic identity that has endured for more than a century. The City has recently celebrated that heritage through the Electric City Project, a downtown revitalization effort that combines LED lighting, public art, and a new community gathering spot.
