Training & Events

Training & Events

A key part of MEDC Community Development's efforts to foster vibrant, diverse, and sustainable communities is to promote training, continuing education, and information sharing at the local level. To meet that goal, MEDC Community Development provides learning opportunities in various formats including an online learning system, webinars, resource pages, in-person training, and workshops. Learn more about the opportunities below.

If you already know what you're looking for, go directly to the registration system.


Upcoming Webinars

Stay up to date on recent legislative changes to the state's Brownfield Tax Increment Financing (TIF) program. Representatives from MEDC, EGLE and MSHDA provide quarterly updates and a question and answer session. Watch past webinars and access presentations here.

In Person Training

In person trainings happen throughout the year and include the Redevelopment Ready Communities (RRC) Best Practice Series, the Michigan Main Street Training Series, RRC regional workshops, Small Business events, and others as needs are identified. In person trainings offer a chance to not only learn valuable material but also network with other staff and officials from communities throughout Michigan.

Developer’s Toolkit

MEDC has assembled the developer’s toolkit to provide resources and awareness to individuals wanting to step foot into the real estate world. The toolkit has been built to ensure there is equal access to the MEDC community development programs and services. Outreach, training, and support is being prioritized to underrepresented areas of the state.
