• Madison Heights family in limbo weeks after severe weather destroyed home (newsbreak.com) — A Madison Heights family is still displaced nearly a month after severe storms and a fire destroyed their home, with power restoration delays preventing repairs from even starting. The homeowner says DTE must replace a damaged pole before contractors can work, leaving him, his daughters, and his sister living separately while they wait for some sense of normalcy to return.
• Canadian Company's New Michigan Facility to Boost Vehicle Data, Sustainable Mobility (manufacturing.net) — Madison Heights is getting a new Geotab facility that will bring at least 26 tech-focused jobs and a $1.8 million investment to the city. The site will house office space plus an automotive lab and garage for advanced vehicle data and software work. State support includes a performance-based grant, tying local job growth to sustainable mobility innovation.
