FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lynn Sutfin, 517-241-2112
The purpose of the Michigan Active Communities program is to implement policy, systems and environmental (PSE) interventions in parks and green spaces to increase access to opportunities for physical activity in communities of color and low-income communities where parks and green spaces are inequitably funded.
