Good morning, Sterling Heights.

Thirteen candidates will appear on the Sterling Heights City Council primary ballot on Aug.

5 for six available seats, & the top 12 voter-getters will advance to the general election ballot on Nov. 4 where winners will serve four-year terms. Two mayoral candidates, running unopposed in the primary, will also appear on the general election ballot.

Sterling Heights property assessments rose as residential values increased 6.5% to $6.3 billion and industrial properties grew nearly 6% to $726 million, placing the city among the top SEV communities statewide.

Mayor Michael C. Taylor said quality neighborhoods, good schools+ and a strong safety record helped drive this performance.

Bassmaster Magazine has ranked Lake St. Clair as one of the top ten bass lakes in America—Michigan’s only representative—based on tournament data, fishery reports and feedback from thousands of anglers as fishing season continues.
