We help you navigate Detroit government & learn Detroit’s neighborhoods.

  • Consistent with city ordinances and policies, Crossroads Consulting is experienced in civic engagement. Detroiters want their voices heard from the block clubs to CBO neighborhood advisory councils (NAC). Crossroads Consulting can help you develop in-person and virtual experiences to truly engage impacted communities by your project.

  • One of the things we’ve learned is that Detroit has a long and complicated history. Knowing major players is a smart decision, allowing our team to draw upon 50 years of experience to help you make smart decisions in Detroit.

  • Public policies have a direct impact on residents, neighborhoods, businesses and developers. Crossroads’ team is comprised of veteran public policy makers who have the historical knowledge, skills and relationships to provide clients with cutting-edge analysis of policies that impact you.

    Our public affairs practitioners are experienced with engaging stakeholders in the neighborhoods, city hall and the business community. We work to develop and maintain key relationships to promote your business' interests effectively. This includes monitoring and assessing legislative developments which can determine how these public policy decisions impact the success of your business.
