Our Mission

The City of Harper Woods exists not to serve those who are employed here, but for the residents who have placed us here to serve.

The City serves all residents, not just a few.  City Officials have recently learned of residents circulating misinformation on social media platforms and defining themselves as "in the know."

Officials would like to emphasize that no resident is above another and no resident has access to City services or information over their neighbor.  To counter the misinformation, officials encourage all residents to think about accuracy and the sentiments triggered by what they see/read before sharing anything online.  If the information does not come from the City, consider your source.

The City is committed to transparency and we have a "contact us" feature link on our website to obtain information or advise of concerns across the city.  Residents can also attend monthly City Council meetings to voice their concerns or make comment to their elected officials. 

As we move forward together from a pandemic, the City will continue to maintain and strengthen the trust of our residents who grant us the privilege to serve them.  Officials are committed to providing residents with information and services in a timely, accurate manner.
