Cassi Miller, Assistant Economic Developer at Saginaw Future, has a bachelor’s degree in Urban Planning and Development from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Working with Saginaw Future has educated her on the many economic assists and limitations of Saginaw. Some of the most threatening are the outstandingly low average household income and the number of unoccupied buildings in the primary commercial core of the City, which this project can help to combat. Through Saginaw Future, Cassi manages the Saginaw Downtown Development Authority, which focuses on economic development and quality of life specifically in downtown and Old Town. Though she has only lived in Saginaw for 2 years, she loves the City and has a passion for community development. ​
