A NEW HOME. A FRESH START. A PLACE TO BEGIN AGAIN.

Some ribbon cuttings celebrate a new business.

This one celebrated something even more meaningful—a new home and a new beginning. ❤️

The Macomb County Chamber was honored to join Jackson Transitional Housing Center Inc. / New Life Beginnings for the dedication and ribbon cutting of a new home that will provide families with a safe and supportive place to live as they work toward a more stable future.

New Life Beginnings provides women and their children with more than housing. Through safe shelter, advocacy, counseling, resources and support, families are given the opportunity to rebuild, regain stability and take important steps toward permanent housing and independence.

This new home represents hope, opportunity and a second chance.

It is a reminder that when our community comes together, we can help make a real difference in the lives of families facing difficult circumstances.

👏 Congratulations to Jackson Transitional Housing Center and New Life Beginnings on this meaningful milestone—and thank you for the work you do every day to help women and children build brighter futures.

The Macomb County Chamber is proud to celebrate the people and organizations making Macomb County a stronger, more caring community.

🚧 A BIG DAY FOR SAPA TRANSMISSION — AND FOR MACOMB COUNTY!

Today, we joined Chamber Member SAPA Transmission, Inc. in Shelby Township to celebrate the groundbreaking of its new advanced manufacturing facility—a major investment in the future of our region.

💰 $163 million investment
👷 300+ new jobs
🏭 Advanced manufacturing
🛡️ Strengthening Macomb County’s defense industry

But today’s groundbreaking represents more than the start of construction.

It represents confidence in Macomb County.
It represents investment in our workforce.
And it demonstrates what can happen when business, local communities and economic development partners work together toward a common goal.

SAPA’s continued growth reinforces Macomb County’s position as a leader in advanced manufacturing and a critical part of Michigan’s defense and industrial base.

We’re proud to have SAPA growing here in Macomb County and even prouder to celebrate this milestone alongside them.

Congratulations, SAPA Transmission! We can’t wait to watch this exciting project take shape. 🚀

What started as a family tradition became a Michigan success story. 🥒🏆

Meet Mary Safie.

President and Owner of Safie Specialty Foods.

And one of the distinguished 2026 Macomb Hall of Fame inductees.

In 1994, Mary stepped in to revive the business her grandfather started.

What happened next is remarkable.

She didn’t just preserve a family legacy.

She grew it.

Today, Safie Specialty Foods produces more than 10 million pounds of premium pickled vegetables each year.

From Macomb County to markets around the world.

But Mary’s story isn’t just about business growth.

It’s about what happens when entrepreneurship, innovation, manufacturing, and community leadership come together.

Under Mary’s leadership, Safie Specialty Foods has created jobs, expanded its operations, entered new markets, and invested in the future of its business.

She also understands that successful businesses have a responsibility to give back.

Through partnerships with food banks and organizations working to reduce food waste, Safie Specialty Foods is making an impact well beyond its production floor.

And there’s a lesson here for every business owner:

Honor where you came from.

Invest in where you’re going.

And never underestimate the impact your business can have on your community.

Mary’s journey is exactly the kind of leadership we celebrate through the Macomb Hall of Fame.

Her contributions to manufacturing, agriculture, entrepreneurship, economic development, and the Macomb County business community have helped strengthen the region we’re proud to call home.

The Macomb Foundation is honored to recognize Mary Safie as a 2026 Macomb Hall of Fame inductee.

🏆 Congratulations, Mary!

Help us celebrate this remarkable Macomb County business leader.

🎉 A New Reason to Smile in Clinton Township! 🦷✨

Yesterday was a great morning in Clinton Township as the Macomb County Chamber joined Dr. Michael Mashini, his family, friends and an enthusiastic crowd of community and business leaders to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon-cutting of Elevate by Mashini Dental!

For Dr. Mashini, this celebration was especially meaningful. Having grown up nearby, he’s returning to the community he knows and loves with a vision to provide a different kind of dental experience—one built around personalized, comprehensive, patient-first care for the entire family.

From general and family dentistry to cosmetic, restorative, implant and Invisalign services, Elevate by Mashini Dental is bringing modern, comfortable dental care to Clinton Township.

And what’s a ribbon-cutting without a little fun—and some great food? We were thrilled to celebrate alongside Channel 955 Radio, Clinton Township officials, and our new Chamber members at Wing Snob - Clinton Township, who brought their food truck and helped keep everyone smiling!

A special thank-you to Clinton Township Supervisor Paul Gieleghem, Treasurer Dr. Mike Aiello, and all of the community and business leaders who came out to welcome Elevate Dental to Clinton Township.

Congratulations, Dr. Mashini and the entire Elevate Dental team! We’re excited to welcome you to the Macomb County business community and look forward to watching you elevate smiles and lives right here at home. 🥂🦷

📍 41781 Garfield Rd., Clinton Township

Welcome to the Chamber, Elevate by Mashini Dental!

🌿 Why join Women in Business?

Because the right connection can open a door.
The right conversation can spark an idea.
And the right community can help you grow.

Yesterday, women from across Macomb County came together at the beautiful Crocker House Museum & Gardens for the Macomb County Chamber and Anchor Bay Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Luncheon Series: Garden Party & Networking.

And while the garden was beautiful, the women around the table were the real highlight.

This is what Women in Business is about: bringing together connected, accomplished and influential women who are building businesses, leading organizations, serving their communities and creating opportunities for others.

It’s a place to:
🤝 Build relationships that extend beyond the luncheon
💡 Exchange ideas and learn from other leaders
🔗 Find potential partners, clients, mentors and collaborators
📣 Raise your visibility within the business community
🌱 Grow professionally alongside women who understand the journey

You don’t have to wait until you need a connection to start building your network.

Join us at the next Women in Business event and become part of a community that believes who you know matters—but what you build together matters even more.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, First State Bank, for helping bring these women together and investing in the strength of our business community.

💬 What’s the best business connection you’ve made through networking? Tell us in the comments!
