Highlighting economic development in Novi
January 2019
A look at Novi from the 1800s
The City of Novi is celebrating its 50th Anniversary this year and each month we will be releasing a new video highlighting a part of Novi's history. The first one covers what Novi looked like in the early 1800s and who some of the early settlers to the City were.

Want to be featured on an upcoming episode of Business Avenue that airs on Novi Television, YouTube and cityofnovi.org . Shoot us an email at [email protected] to set up a time that works for you and our Studio No.VI team will do the rest.
