SEMCA participated in the event as an exhibitor. The Expo was held at the Yack Arena in Wyandotte. This is the tenth year that the SWCCC has hosted the Downriver Business Expo. More than one hundred businesses participated in this year’s event including The Information Center (TIC) and Downriver Community Conference (DCC). The event was conceived in 1984 by the DCC and the former Downriver Metroplex Alliance to showcase the products and services of local businesses. The SWCCC maintained that goal and refined it to make it easier and more valuable for local businesses to participate. |
