Pontiac is a vibrant and diverse city full of entrepreneurs and large corporations that come together in a close-knit community. With strong roots in the automotive industry and local maker spaces, technology- and mortgage-based economies are starting to grow too.

While the number of automotive design and manufacturing facilities has reduced over the years, the community’s affinity for cars has not. The M1 Concourse, LBI Limited, GM’s Global Propulsion Systems campus, and Stellantis are all in the heart of the city or within close proximity. With a full automotive events calendar, including weekly Cars and Coffee events, Pontiac is a car enthusiast’s dream community.

Pontiac is a big city with a small-town heart that is charming, exciting, and ever-changing.
