Welcome to the Village of Concord
Welcome to the picturesque Village of Concord a quaint community which has embraced and promotes its small town status, values, and ideals.  A neighborly community where neighbors keep an eye on each other's children playing in our yards, assist one another with landscaping and home improvements, and has your spare key when you lock yourself out of your house.  Concord is a small village filled with turn of the century homes (much of which are on the National Historic Registry) adorned with Victorian architectural features and well kept landscaped yards our residents take pride in.  A downtown business district of two story red brick buildings from the Victorian era is home to prosperous businesses and small town urban living in the second stories.   The Village of Concord is the quintessential bedroom community within an hour drive proximity to the large urban centers of Ann Arbor, Battle Creek, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and Lansing.
 
The Village of Concord is a recreation friendly community who through sensible utilization of public, private, and grant funding has built a substantial parks and recreation network which highlight the vast natural resources located in and around our community: 

Located on the banks of the Kalamazoo River, what once served as a hub of economic activity now serves as a source for water recreation for our residents.   Water recreation opportunities in Concord include a boat launch at Concord’s Mill Pond Park and Paddock Lake and a canoe/kayak launch into the Kalamazoo River at Spring Street.  Our section of the Kalamazoo River is home to some of the best small mouth bass fishing in the State of Michigan with near State record catches being caught regularly.  Our nearby neighboring communities are abounding with water recreation opportunities as well our residents find enjoyable and useful.

A railroad bed which once served as a hub of economic activity now serves as a source for non-motorized trail recreation for our residents. The Village of Concord’s non-motorized trail system is part of the Falling Water’s Trail which runs into Jackson, the State of Michigan’s Great Lake to Lake Trail which runs from Port Huron to South Haven, and the State of Michigan’s Iron Belle Trail which runs from Belle Isle and to Ironwood. Other trail recreation resources include a vast sidewalk system and a ½ mile road side non-motorized trail to the recreation opportunities at Swains Lake County Park.
The Village of Concord is home to Gottschalk Park a acre park with a playground for kids, a soccer field, multiple ball diamonds, a basketball , a tennis, and a beach volleyball court. Gottschalk Park is also home to two pavilions and the Concord Community Center. The 37 acre Paddock Lake Park is an undisturbed nature area with a public access boat launch into Paddock Lake.    
 
The Village of Concord is home to the mighty Yellow Jackets of Concord Community Schools.  Concord Community Schools prides itself on its small classroom setting and a knowledgeable staff always willing to assist their students.  There is community pride and collaboration between  Concord Schools and the Village of Concord.  On the athletic fields Concord School’s is known for their multiple State championships in Cross Country, Volleyball, and Track and Field.

Come make the Village of Concord your bedroom community of choice.

Concord Classic Weekend 2020 will be June 26-28!  POSTPONED!!

Announcement:

This message is to inform you that Concord Classic Weekend 2020 scheduled for June 26-28th is postponed until further notice. There is an incredible amount of planning that goes into this event and there is just too much uncertainty. We will continue to monitor the situation and look at possible options later in the summer or early fall. If rescheduled for this summer/fall, it will likely be a 1-day event. We hope Concord Classic Weekend 2021 will be back to normal. Concord was incorporated as a village in 1871 and next summer would be 150 years!

To be in compliance with Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-15, the Village of Concord will conduct its September 22nd meeting at 7 P.M. at the Concord Community Center located at 310 Homer Road.

The purpose the Public Body is meeting at the Community Center is to promote social distancing.

We are taking every measure possible to mitigate the spread of the Coronavirus to protect our residents, council, employees and their families.

Members of the public body and of the general public participating will be asked to wear a mask and leave six feet between yourself and others.

 

NOTICE...

The Village of Concord Council supported a trial reopening of the Village Office to the public with certain parameters expected to be completed by the State of Michigan such as visitors wearing a mask while inside and visitors filling out a short survey to conduct business within our Offices. Due to multiple instances of negative visitor feedback on having to wear a mask inside our offices and an unwillingness to fill out the short survey the Village Offices will be closed once again and business will return to be conducted via the Villages Drop Box, Mail, Online Payment System, Phone and Email. We understand our closing may be inconvenient to some and we sincerely apologize but we also must do what is in the best interest of protecting our employees. If you’re concerned you are unable to have your business needs met using the aforementioned means please feel free to call our Office (517-524-8534) or send an Email (office@villageofconcord.com) and we will attempt to accommodate you through a face to face meeting by a Village Representative within our office, please note that to attend this meeting you will be expected to wear a mask at all times within the office and to fill out a short survey. Thank you for your patience in these unique times and we hope to be back to conducting business as normal in the near future.
