A Message from L. Brooks PattersonOakland County Executive
Welcome to our second One Stop Ready Community Showcase. In 2013, Oakland County established the One Stop Ready program
to partner with and support communities working to be development ready. Since then, 20 communities have embraced the program and have redefined the way they do business. Each one has embarked on a course of continuous improvement with streamlined processes and a determination to deliver exceptional customer service. When you are ready to do business, these communities are ready to help.
On the following pages, you will be introduced to these OSR communities and learn about the unique opportunities each offers for investing in Oakland County. We hope you will find a parcel or identify a project that meets your business goals, and we encourage you to connect with the people who will assist you every step of the way.
Add these communities to your contact list with an understanding that One Stop Ready is an ongoing improvement program. Today, tomorrow, next year, your best connection to desirable properties throughout Oakland County starts with your connection to a One Stop Ready team.
Thank you for your interest in investing in Oakland County. We look forward to working with you.

City-Owned, Mixed-Use, High Density3 5 0 5 / 3 5 0 7 A U B U R N R D .
Although currently zoned light industrial, the city envisions this site as a mixed-use, high density planned unit development with a retail or office component. Located within the boundaries of the Downtown Development Authority and just east of the district, the property is a short walk from downtown and municipal parks and has great proximity to I-75 and M-59. The future vision for the area proposes an extension of Parkways Boulevard bifurcating the property and connecting at Squirrel Court to join the new development with the adjacent Forester Square Community and The Parkways Development. A Brownfield Redevelopment Plan for the property has already been developed.

About One Stop ReadyOne Stop Ready (OSR) is a community-focused economic development program built upon self-evaluation, information sharing and outstanding customer service. One Stop Ready communities strive for continuous improvement through self-assessment. They regularly review and, if needed, update their ordinances, policies and procedures. They understand the importance of high quality customer service. The elected and appointed officials and staff of OSR communities work as a team.
OSR communities work toward readiness by attending Oakland County’s One Stop Ready Academy, a series of workshops detailing important data, shared experiences and best practices. Since the program began, more than 800 attendees in 20 communities have participated. It is the goal of Oakland County to have every one of its communities be One Stop Ready. The final test for success of the OSR program is its delivery in each community. Through the implementation of five OSR best practices, communities are better equipped to work collaboratively with customers and to provide the best service possible. These practices include:
Pre-Application Meetings
Internet Accessibility
Proactive Project Tracking
Clear and Efficient Permitting Processes
Business/Community Input
OSR communities understand that development readiness encourages economic growth. They know that time is money, and efficiency at every interaction is essential to a positive outcome. They know that it is good business to make your business their business — and that means a better bottom line for all.
POWERED BY OAKLAND COUNTY MICHIGAN
