'We really want people to come out and learn how they can make downtown the best it can possibly be,' DDA director says. The second of four training seminars is Thursday.
Last fall, Clawson became the 12th city to join the Main Street Oakland County program, an economic development program that focuses on preserving downtown’s historic and unique character. To teach the community about the program, four information sessions were planned with the second one, on economic restructuring, scheduled for Thursday. “Everyone has an interest in downtown because if it’s doing well that improves our image and our economic base,” DDA Director Joan Horton explained. “So far it’s been the DDA board working on the program and we really want the community to be involved, so they can’t say, ‘Why did they do that downtown?’” Horton said the goal of the four seminars is to get the community engaged in the four committees that…

Mojave Cantina & Grill plans to serve local beer and host live music nights when it opens in the fall.
A new restaurant specializing in Tex-Mex cuisine will soon begin construction in downtown Clawson with plans to open in October. Phil Tsapatoris said the city approved his site plan on Tuesday for Mojave Cantina & Grill, which will be located at 48 W. 14 Mile Rd., west of Pizza Hut. Tsapatoris, of West Bloomfield, said Clawson is an ideal location for the restaurant, which is similar to Cantina Diablo's in Royal Oak serving Mexican and Southwestern food. "We like Clawson and we notice that they have nothing like that in the area," said Tsapatoris, who will co-own the restaurant with Phil Lampos. The business partners have about 55 years of experience combined in the restaurant industry. Tsapatoris said he will spend most of the summer …

Clawson's Downtown Development Authority hosted a town hall meeting to involve the community.
A room full of Clawson residents, businesses owners and board members of various committees gathered at City Hall on Thursday to learn about the upcoming plans for downtown Clawson. Clawson recently became the 12th community to join Main Street Oakland County (MSOC).

Donohue noted that in the past 10 years, Oakland County has seen the creation of more than 6,000 jobs and 700 new businesses (with nearly 4 …
