Marie Warner has been named November’s Ambassador of the Month for her remarkable commitment to helping residents achieve financial success throughout her 25-year career.

As a Commercial Lender at Huron Valley State Bank, she works hand-in-hand with local business owners and families, offering personalized guidance and building lasting community relationships.

Since moving to Huron Valley in 2006, Marie has become a familiar face, now serving as President of the Huron Valley Chamber Ambassadors.

She’s dedicated to welcoming new businesses and fostering collaboration across the region.

Marie’s community spirit extends beyond banking—she co-founded the area’s Blue Star Mothers chapter, supporting military families, a mission dear to her since two of her sons served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

When she isn’t volunteering or spending time with her children and grandchildren, Marie embraces new cultures, having traveled to 16 countries and 47 states.

Her passion and warmth continue to inspire Huron Valley every day.

Milford and Highland Township are experiencing notable real estate momentum as 2025 unfolds in Oakland County.

Milford’s steady home price growth—with average home values near $467,000 and midfield sales around $480,000—highlights strong, sustained buyer interest driven by attractive schools, lakes, and community character.

Homes here now sell in about 21 days, slightly slower than last year but still outpacing much of the country.

Highland Township stands out for its higher median prices around $530,000 and a broad inventory, from starter homes to sprawling executive estates close to parks and lakes.

Though affordability remains a challenge for some buyers, both areas benefit from healthy inventory and consistent demand.

Altogether, Milford and Highland reflect the wider regional trend: stable suburban markets with moderate price gains and strong appeal for families looking for quality of life near Metro Detroit.

The developer behind the controversial data center plan in Howell Township has abruptly pulled their rezoning application, stopping efforts to convert nearly 1,000 acres of farmland into a sprawling data facility.

This move came just hours before a public hearing where locals planned to voice strong concerns. Despite this pause, many residents remain on alert for similar future proposals and vow to stay engaged.

Mary Motto, a local resident, celebrated the project's withdrawal, while others, like Lauren Prebenda, urged continued community vigilance in case the plan re-emerges.

The data center, reportedly backed by Meta, sparked opposition over fears of environmental damage, heavy water use, and loss of rural land. The township had already placed a six-month freeze on new data center proposals to study potential impacts and set regulations.

While the immediate threat is gone, residents are determined to protect Howell’s rural character from future large-scale development.
