Helping businesses grow and prosper is a major focus of the City
of Novi. The city is dedicated to helping foster the region's
economic base to improve the quality of life for its citizens and

Finding the ideal location is a critical step that can

such amenities as:
- Convenient access to multiple expressways

parks and a world class retail district.
These elements are the City of Novi - a dynamic community that
has been identified by major companies as the ideal location.
Novi is strategically located in southeastern Michigan, consists
of 31-square miles in prestigious Oakland County, and is just

Michigan and forty-five minutes from Michigan State University. Novi
offers many solid advantages, combining an outstanding blend of
highly visible land development opportunities in both high-tech and
industrial areas. Novi is well-connected to highway, rail and air
transportation routes offering accessibility second to none.
Here you'll find that industry and a vibrant suburban environment
happily coexists in an area where expansion will be thoughtful and
balanced. Novi takes great pride in having superior parks, wetland
and woodland protections and recreation centers.

diversity. More than 35 businesses based in Japan and at least 14
businesses based in Germany call Novi “home” in the United States.
Combine these factors with fiscal responsibility and an open
government that values and welcomes community involvement, and you
have a dynamic, prospering city.

economic conditions, the area has enjoyed many professional
employment opportunities.
