To help these businesses, Macomb County has joined forces with the Macomb County Chamber, the Sterling Heights Regional Chamber, the Anchor Bay Chamber, the Eastpointe-Roseville Chamber, the Greater Romeo Washington Chamber and the Richmond Chamber of Commerce to launch the Macomb is Open contest. The initiative is made possible through the support of the Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union, which is matching county and chamber funds to make up to $21,000 available for local eateries and patrons.

“This contest is patterned after our very popular ‘Shop Local Macomb’ holiday campaign,” said Vicky Rad, director of Macomb County’s Department of Planning & Economic Development. “Our hope is that it creates a greater level of support for our local restaurants while protecting local jobs.”
