Welcome to the Charter Township of Ypsilanti! We invite you to take a look at all our municipality has to offer.

Located on the eastern edge of Washtenaw County, Ypsilanti Township is the largest township in the county — boasting nearly 53,000 residents. Combining our proximity to major thoroughfares such as Willow Run Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Interstate 94 with the serenity of our recreational areas and lakes and the diverse selection of residential communities, residents and employers have realized the potential of our township.

Through strategic partnerships with the Michigan Economic Development Corp., Ann Arbor SPARK, Michigan Small Business Development Center, and the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti Area Chambers of Commerce, Ypsilanti Township strives to be at the forefront of economic development while enjoying the offerings of our neighbors.

Blending the vibrant and bustling downtown of Ann Arbor with historical treasures of the city of Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Township enjoys the benefits of both. From the multimillion-dollar investment in our latest business park to our state-of-the-art library facilities, to the board’s ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvements, and expanding our recreational offerings, the Charter Township of Ypsilanti is moving forward.

A Message from Supervisor Ruth Ann Jamnick on the Aerotropolis Project

“I am pleased to represent Ypsilanti Township on the Aerotropolis Project. This project has a broad reaching impact, not only for the residents of Ypsilanti Township, but for all of Southeastern Michigan. This single issue has brought many communities together to work toward a common goal – economic development of the region. One benefit that I see is the potential for businesses to locate here and the potential for job creation."
