The Michigan Zoning MAP was created and produced through a true collaboration among the Michigan Association of Planning, Flywheel Community Development Services, and DataWise Consulting, LLC.
For all three organizations, this work is on-mission and contributes to the larger framework of our respective, overlapping fields. All who find the MZM useful are encouraged to explore each partner's work, some of which builds directly on the findings of the Michigan Zoning MAP.

Flywheel Community Development Services helps communities turn housing goals into projects that get built. If you have a housing shortage, you probably have a zoning problem. Using data from the new Michigan Zoning Map, Flywheel works with communities across Michigan to identify what is possible, remove barriers, and move from “reasons it won’t work” to a clear path forward.
