"I am incredibly proud of our entire Parks and Recreation team, as well as being a part of an organization that recognizes the importance of Parks and Recreation in all shapes and sizes," said Langlois. "We're also extremely grateful to our great partnership with Christian Financial Credit Union whose sponsorship made our Esports Arena possible."
"As our world becomes increasingly digital oriented, we see firsthand the need to have tech-forward talent," said Christian Financial Credit Union Senior Vice President Rebekah Monroe. "The Sterling Heights Esports Arena is an innovative way to encourage interest in future tech careers, while also building an environment of inclusion, collaboration, and fun. The Esports Arena's mission is very much aligned with our core values, and we were elated to partner with the city of Sterling Heights on this project."
"With the passing of the Recreating Recreation millage in 2016, Sterling Heights residents confirmed City Council's strong commitment to improving and focusing on parks, recreation and sense of place," said Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor. "We congratulate the entire Parks and Recreation Department on this award and thank them for their continued dedication to creating world-class recreational opportunities that are inclusive of the interests of everyone in our diverse community."
