Vote August 5, 2025

I’m Nick Moroz. Since 2017, I’ve had the honor of serving Plymouth as City Commissioner, Mayor Pro Tem, and Mayor. Now, I’m running for re-election to the City Commission because I love my hometown and I’m committed to working harder than anyone to help our city reach its full potential.

My wife, Leigh, and I have been proud homeowners in Plymouth since 2013, raising our two kids, Zoe and Beau, in a community that reflects the values we care deeply about—walkability, safety, opportunity, and neighborly spirit. I work at the University of Michigan’s Center for Entrepreneurship, where I help students, faculty, and startups address some of our most pressing technological challenges. As a founder of manufacturing businesses based here in Michigan, I’ve seen firsthand how effective, forward-thinking government can make a real difference in people’s lives.

Plymouth faces important challenges, but I see them as opportunities to strengthen what already makes our city great. Over the years, I’ve learned how powerful our community can be when we work together. That’s why I will always lead by listening—but I’ll never hesitate to act when it’s time to deliver results.

Over the past 7+ years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to some of the most meaningful improvements in our city’s recent history. Here are just a few I’m most proud of:

Infrastructure & Public Safety

Building a Safer, Stronger City

  • Secured $6M+ in infrastructure upgrades with DTE after Farmer Street fire
  • Passed $12M bond to repair roads, add bike lanes & pedestrian crossings
  • Oversaw major road construction and upgrades throughout the city
  • Installed new pedestrian crossings in high-traffic areas
  • Introduced EV charging stations to modernize city utilities
  • Secured $1M for safer rail crossings
  • Modernized city systems: new water meters and backup generators
  • Funded a new police vehicle to enhance public safety

Urban Planning & Development

Thoughtful Growth, Smart Planning

  • Adopted Plymouth’s new City-Wide Master Plan in 2018 with focus on walkability, recreation, and streets
  • Passed two Recreation Master Plans (2018, 2021) to guide long-term investment in public spaces
  • Helped advance key residential and commercial developments, including Pulte Phase I and Saxton’s Project
  • Purchased and redeveloped Saxton’s parking lot for long-term community benefit
  • Served as liaison to city planning bodies: Planning Commission, ZBA, DDA

Downtown & Economic Innovation

Revitalizing the Heart of Downtown

  • Launched innovative downtown improvements:
    • 15-minute parking for short visits
    • Seasonal patio pilot program (now permanent)
  • Finalized permanent patio dining ordinance to boost local business
  • Secured funding for key City assets:
    • New band shell for Kellogg Park events
    • Restroom upgrades at the Cultural Center

Government Modernization & Leadership

Transparent Leadership, Modern Tools

  • Authored and passed a new city ethics ordinance in 2017
  • Led city as Mayor in 2021, guiding policy during a critical period
  • Introduced Zoom to ensure accessible, remote public meetings during the pandemic
  • Represented Plymouth on regional boards, including the Conference of Western Wayne

Looking forward, I plan to use all of my experience as a public servant, as an educator, and as a long-time resident of Plymouth on these initiatives

Investing in Vibrant, Resilient Neighborhoods

Building on years of smart planning and strategic redevelopment, I am committed to establishing a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district in Old Village to drive targeted economic development. By reinvesting in the character, small businesses, and walkability that have made this area thrive, we can amplify the community-led momentum and ensure this historic neighborhood continues to grow as a destination for residents and visitors alike.

Prioritizing Smart Public Safety for a Walkable, Connected City

Public safety is more than emergency response—it’s about proactively creating safe, accessible environments for everyone. I will continue championing investments in pedestrian crossings, street design, police, and fire services. Just as we’ve introduced EV charging stations and upgraded infrastructure city-wide, I will support modern, data-driven safety enhancements that keep Plymouth both safe and forward-thinking.

Ensuring Strong Finances and Community Connections

As we modernize our transportation and mobility infrastructure—from bike lanes to improved rail crossings—I remain committed to fiscal responsibility. Our past successes in securing funding and upgrading essential systems demonstrate what’s possible with disciplined financial management. I will continue to steward Plymouth’s financial health while investing in the shared spaces, parks, and public events that bring us together and strengthen our community fabric.
