INTRODUCTION TO RICHMOND, MICHIGAN

Today, Richmond is a rapidly growing city with an estimated population of 5,200 residents and is linked by the I-94 Expressway, M-19, and the Gratiot Avenue corridor to the Detroit/Flint/Port Huron metropolitan areas.  The City has seven subdivisions under development, which will add another 2,250 residents to the City within the next few years.  Commercial and industrial developments are also in the works.   Still, Richmond maintains the cherished serenity of small town living.

Although only forty miles north of Detroit and twenty miles southwest of Port Huron, all roads that lead to Richmond are lined with rich farm lands and scenic Michigan landscapes.

The Grand Trunk Railroad remains. Its tracks reach west to Pontiac and cities beyond, north or Port Huron and Canada, and south to Detroit and rest of the nation.  Ocean lines traveling the St. Clair River, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway are just twenty minutes from Richmond's border.

Michigan's largest airport, the Detroit Metropolitan, is sixty miles away and the St. Clair County Airport is a ten minute drive from the City.
