In honor of “National Volunteer Recognition Month” in April, the Board of Commissioners is accepting nominations of volunteers who make valuable contributions to the community. Chosen volunteers will be honored with a reception.
We need your help to find these deserving individuals! Let us know of an outstanding volunteer who resides in, or whose volunteer efforts benefit, Macomb County. Two volunteers will be chosen per district. From these volunteers, the Board will also recognize a special “Senior Volunteer of the Year.” This award was initiated by the Board’s Older Adult Advisory Committee as a means to give special recognition to people over 60 who volunteer in the community.
Please take time to nominate one volunteer who meets the criteria by completing the following form: https://macombgov.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0wV79veToz51WJw. Nominations are due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 12, 2024. Thank you for helping us honor dedicated volunteers!

It is pothole season in Macomb County!
The Department of Roads takes a comprehensive approach to managing Macomb County’s roadways and crews perform maintenance year round. The quickest and most efficient way to report a pothole is to submit a service request for road maintenance at roads.macombgov.org.
Please include the road and cross streets to provide our crews with the most accurate location possible. Requests are sent to the nearest maintenance service center to review and manage the issue. The Department of Roads has four service centers located throughout the county in Clinton Township, New Haven, Shelby Township, and Washington Township.
If you're contacting the Department of Roads regarding an emergency road condition or immediate safety concern, please call 586-463-8671. In the event of an emergency, please contact 911.
The Macomb County Department of Roads (MCDR) has an extensive list of road projects planned for the upcoming spring and summer months, aiming to improve the overall infrastructure in the area. To view a complete list of Macomb County construction projects, along with detailed maps and information, visit the MCDR website at https://roads.macombgov.org/Roads-Home. Stay informed and prepared for any potential traffic changes as these crucial improvements are underway.
