Who We Are
The Community Assistance Team (CATeam) was created in 2001 within the walls of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. We are charged with being a community's first point of contact within state government.
The CATeam is dedicated to helping Michigan communities; large and small, urban and rural. Our mission is to strengthen communities by ensuring access to economic development services and programs that cultivate sustainable projects that will build a strong foundation for the future of Michigan.
We accomplish this by:
Serving the distinctive needs of MEDC's Local Partners seeking assistance with community development.
Working in partnership with associations to design programs that foster a sense of place.
Facilitating access to other state agencies.
Our primary focus is to provide technical and financial assistance to Michigan's communities. We have built partnerships within MEDC, neighborhood organizations and other state agencies to facilitate the development or redevelopment of Michigan's downtowns. From support with brownfield redevelopment to Community Development Block Grant dollars, our goal is to help you prosper.
