Legislative

Through GVMC's legislative advocacy members review, monitor, and propose legislation that benefits Metro Council members specifically and West Michigan in general. Federal and state elected officials are regularly invited to discuss recent or pending legislation. Representatives from the Michigan Municipal League and Michigan Townships Association often attend GVMC meetings to provide legislative counsel and legislative updates. GVMC coordinates its legislative activities with:

  • County Road Association of Michigan

  • Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce

  • Michigan Association of Counties

  • Michigan Environmental Council

  • Michigan Municipal League

  • Michigan Townships Association

The full GVMC Legislative Committee meets as called by its Chairperson.
