Pontiac is a city experiencing
a structural and cultural urban renaissance. The perfect blend of old and
new, the city is attracting investment as new shops, restaurants, and a
growing number of high tech Internet firms sit next to historic buildings
that are as majestic and proud as the Native American chief for which the
city was named.
Corporate expansion, a high-tech
explosion, tightly knit business communities and a great quality of life
complete with lakes, parks and other recreational activities make Pontiac
a wonderful place to live.

Advantages
The city of Pontiac has a Downtown Development Authority (DDA), Tax Increment
Finance Authority (TIFA) and Economic Development Corporation (EDC). In
1997, Pontiac became the first city in Oakland County to establish a Brownfield
Redevelopment Authority. These agencies are available to assist businesses
interested in locating and/or expanding in the city of Pontiac.
Additionally, the quality
of fiber optics has increased in Pontiac, especially around the areas
of Woodward Avenue and North Saginaw Street. The infrastructure creates
the perfect home for the kind of pre-IPO companies you read about in
newspapers every day - highly successful, highly competitive, high-tech
corporations poised on the edge of phenomenal growth. A Pontiac location
can help these businesses succeed and contribute to future success in
this fast-moving industry.
