State Representative Kristian Grant

The American Planning Association National Conference 2026 was held in Detroit Michigan and it was an honor to be a part of the conversation.

The panel I joined included policy experts, municipal leaders from across the country, and legal experts.

We discussed local zoning and the Housing Readiness Package. The biggest takeaway that I had from the other panel members was that housing and the zoning discussion are a joint effort.

Thank you a million times over to the individual municipalities and local leaders who have sat down to talk about the Housing Readiness Package and who have given real feedback. You are appreciated and even when we don’t agree I am humbled to put people first as we work together!

Lids for Kids is one of my favorite events because it brings the community together and signals that summer is close by!

Talking to families about bike safety is so important. Sinas Dramis gives out hundreds of free helmets each year, and some very lucky kids also go home with brand-new bikes. Thank you to Sinas Dramis Law Firm for allowing me to join you for the bike giveaway and for coming to the Garfield Park neighborhood each year for this awesome event!

Join us for a gathering of business and community. This evening is about networking, resources, and connection - all while supporting a local business!
