The City of Sterling Heights cut the ribbon on the new Department of Public Works facility on Tuesday, Oct. 19. The new $24.6 million,178,000-square-foot facility will house roughly 100 employees along with DPW fleet vehicles and equipment.
DPW Director Michael Moore has worked closely with the project architect, Kueny Architects, and the general contractor, Lasalle Construction over the last two years to ensure the newly expanded facility will allow DPW to provide seamless, efficient and enhanced resident services.
“This new state-of-the-art facility incorporates improved energy efficiency technology, vehicle maintenance bays, more natural lighting for employees, better ventilation and vastly improved training amenities. The project is consistent with the City’s newly adopted Sustainability Plan and, ultimately, will help enhance services to our residents and businesses,” said Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor. “I thank my colleagues on City Council and City Management for their support of this much needed new facility.”

It’s about 40 minutes of devilishly factual fun.

May be too intense for children under 12 years of age.

The city of Sterling Heights is gearing up for our Fall SHINE Day, hosted by First Church of Sterling Heights on Saturday, Nov. 6.
SHINE brings great volunteers together with residents in preparation for end-of-the-year cleanup and is a great opportunity for students, family members, organizations and co-workers to get involved with helping out their fellow neighbors!
The citywide cleanup is part of the Sterling Heights Initiative for Neighborhood Excellence (SHINE) program through the Community Relations Department. The SHINE initiative works with schools, churches and residents to provide volunteers for residents who need help with property maintenance because of age, physical disabilities, or financial hardship.
Volunteers will meet around 9:30 a.m. at First Church of Sterling Heights, located at 39400 Dequindre Rd.
Work assignments will not be longer than 3-4 hours. All materials will be provided to volunteers.
If you are not able to volunteer on Nov. 6 but would like to help with the SHINE program, please email and we can set up a time and day that works best for you!

During the Regular Council Meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 19, the Sterling Heights City Council adopted a resolution designating October 2021 as Filipino American History Month in the city of Sterling Heights in recognition of and appreciation for the rich legacy and significant contributions made by the Filipino American community.
Filipino Americans have flourished and contributed to the growth and success of the state of Michigan, county of Macomb, and city of Sterling Heights. It is both fitting and proper for the City to recognize and celebrate the leadership, service and contributions of the Filipino American community by joining federal, state and municipal governments in designating October as Filipino American History Month.

An award ceremony to honor the graduates from the 2021 Civilian Fire Academy took place at the Regular City Council Meeting this past week.
The Civilian Fire Academy is an opportunity for residents to experience what it is like to be a firefighter. These individuals volunteered their own time each week to learn the ropes and get an inside look at the operation of the Sterling Heights Fire Department!
We thank each of them for their dedication and hope they have learned many new skills they can take with them and use in many aspects of their own life.
