Life in LivCo
Every town, city, and municipality in the world is unique. The locals, the visitors, the businesses, the events - every aspect of a community creates a special culture only found in that place. For Livingston County, we consider our culture a way of life. A way of living more relaxed, with shorter commutes and less traffic. A way of living with nature, surrounded by state parks and trails to explore. A way of living more balanced, with strong roots in agriculture and hard work while valuing family and community pride. Maybe we are a little biased, but we think this makes LivCo pretty special.
Not everyone dreams about being a business owner, but we all depend on our local economies for necessary goods and services. In addition to being consumers, our locals play important roles in the economic vitality of our county. Lifelong locals have the ability to serve as trusted ambassadors of our community’s resources. New locals can inject fresh ideas and perspectives into our daily lives. Consequently, we want all of our locals to be familiar with our office’s many services so that they can act as positive representatives and helpful referrals.
