Schreiber has actively encouraged investment in Ypsilanti. Over the past four years, new investment in loft condominiums, retail stores, and restaurants and nightclubs has strengthened our already vibrant mix of small, independent, and locally owned businesses. The new SPARK East small business incubator on Michigan Avenue has become a powerful catalyst for creative entrepreneurs and professionals.
Building Regional Cooperation:
Schreiber has actively worked to improve and build Ypsilanti’s relationships with Eastern Michigan University and our neighboring Washtenaw County communities. Fostering these relationships is essential to Ypsilanti continuing to maximize its limited financial resources.
Supporting Strong Neighborhoods:
Schreiber has been a tireless advocate for Ypsilanti’s many neighborhood and business associations and community groups, including friends groups for the Rutherford Pool, Parkridge Community Center, and the Ypsilanti Freighthouse.
Transforming Our Community:
Schreiber believes that Ypsilanti’s long-term prosperity depends on its ability to attract and welcome an eclectic mix of creative and energetic people, including artists, musicians and entrepreneurs, to live and work in the city. This will only enrich the life of our community and bolster Ypsilanti’s ongoing transformation into a twenty-first-century city with an economy based on education, arts, entertainment, and new technologies.
