Williamston, Michigan 

Known for its antique stores, specialty shops and well-kept neighborhoods, Williamston manages to maintain its beauty and charm as the community grows. The downtown business district features many historic buildings and is centered along Grand River Avenue at Putnam Street, with the Red Cedar River flowing through the heart of the city.

People are attracted to Williamston because of its quaint, small-town atmosphere. Yet, the city is only a mile from I-96, which offers convenient travel to jobs, colleges, entertainment and shopping centers. Williamston is located just five miles from the Meridian Mall in Okemos, nine miles from Michigan State University in East Lansing, and 14 miles from the State Capitol in Lansing. Many residents commute to other urban areas for jobs. The city is also attempting to expand the local job and tax bases with additions to its industrial park on the city's south side.
