Downtown Pontiac

Downtown Pontiac is located approximately 2 miles west of I-75, at the crossroads of M-59 and Saginaw Street, and 2 miles east of Telegraph Road off of Orchard Lake Road in the heart of Oakland County.

Mission: To promote our downtown as a clean and safe place to live, work and play; while ensuring the preservation and heritage of our historical commercial district.  We will maximize our economic potential of developing an active downtown that embodies a growing base of diverse businesses and residential development, thus promoting our downtown as a focal point of activities citywide.

Description: The Woodward Loop and Fringe best describe the boundaries of Downtown Pontiac, intersected by the Clinton River and the Clinton River Trail.  Downtown has tremendous potential, with one of the finest collections of historic commercial architecture in the United States, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, and serves as the County Seat.  Downtown contains an interesting variety of restaurants, nightclubs, galleries and the Strand Theater, together with retail specialty shops, services, high-tech computer technology companies, parks, and business offices.  Diverse neighborhoods and historic districts surround the downtown area and add to its unique sense of place.  An extensive list of music concerts, ethnic festivals and special events attract visitors from a wide market area.
