Mayor

Welcome to Kentwood's new website! 
As a city, we continue to make strides towards innovation, and this website is evidence of that progress. 

On behalf of our elected officials, city employees, residents and businesses, we would like to extend a warm welcome. Kentwood is a diverse community, welcoming people from around the globe to our corner of Michigan. We are proud to be distinguished for two years in a row as one of the country's hottest real estate zip codes and a great place to start a business. Whatever you're looking for in a home, whether to start your family or start your business, Kentwood is ready to welcome you. 

Throughout the year, we like to bring neighbors together for a variety of community events. Taste of Kentwood, Easter Egg Hunt, The Kentwood Vibe Gala, Touch-A-Truck, 4th of July festival, Celebrate Kentwood, Food Truck Festival and our Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony are all examples of bringing together our families, friends and neighbors. In all, we are proud to host more than 300 events each year. With so many reasons to celebrate, you're sure to find something that fits your style. 

From big to small, Kentwood is proud that more than XX businesses choose our city. Blend our diversity, our strategic master plan, flexible zoning ordinances and friendly city staff, it's easy to see why so many businesses choose a Kentwood address. 

Our staff prides themselves on public service, and ready to help, if you need. This website is designed to be a tool to connect you to our helpful and friendly staff. We are all dedicated to making our community safe and fun. 

We will continue to work together to maintain a high quality of life, building a sense of community and continuing to be the location where businesses and families proudly say: "My address is Kentwood, Michigan".
