DEVELOPING IN ROGERS CITY

Picture

Welcome and thank you for your interest in helping Rogers City grow!  This page is designed as a starting point as you research your business plan.

We understand that going from an idea to open for business can be daunting.  Be assured that in Rogers City you are not alone.  Our development team includes City staff as well as several outside agencies; two of which are the Presque Isle County EDC and the MEDC.  Depending on the needs of your project it may make sense to contact these agencies early in your planning stages.

The Presque Isle County Economic Development Corporation, works in collaboration with Target Alpena and the Alpena Chamber of Commerce to bring regional growth in our communities. The mission is to achieve long-term economic prosperity in our region by enabling the growth of good jobs, and facilitating economic development. For more information visit picedc.org

Once a project concept is developed the City encourages a Pre-Application conference to help answer questions and assure the idea fits with planning and zoning.  A meeting can be set up by contacting Toby Kuznicki Ph: (989) 734 2191 or email tkuznicki@rogerscity.com

To help your project move forward many more resources are available with The Rogers City Development Guide .  We hope you find this information helpful to bring your concept to reality.  Feel free to reach out to us if we can help along the way.
