Walkerville Thrives

... a non-profit community development group

OUR CAUSE is to improve the quality of life in the Area, Walkerville and surrounding Townships. The Walkerville Thrives Area includes six townships from Oceana and Newaygo Counties. They are Colfax, Crystal, Elbridge, Leavitt, Troy, and Beaver.

OUR PURPOSE is guiding positive growth through 1) seeking funding to implement projects, 2) to promote businesses and to increase their visibility, and 3) growing and maintaining community assets.

Community Meeting

Do you love your community? Do you have ideas for the area? Help promote growth by attending our monthly community development meetings and having your voice heard! Working together is a great thing to do!

If meetings don't interest you but you still want to be involved, contact us and we can give you suggestions on projects or volunteer opportunities. Many hands make light work as we move towards our community development goals and see the Walkerville area continue to thrive!
