Hyundai America Technical Centre, Inc. (HATCI) has announced a donation of $39,500 to Superior Charter Township. This contribution will support revitalising the Dixboro Historic School House, a beloved community landmark in Dixboro, Michigan. The announcement was made on Friday, May 30, during the Dixboro Market Day event.
A picturesque hamlet within Superior Township and just minutes from Ann Arbor, Dixboro’s New England-style charm, historic landmarks and deep-rooted community spirit make it a hidden gem in Southeast Michigan.
With this contribution, Hyundai reaffirms its continued efforts to preserve and celebrate local communities’ historical and cultural significance.
The Dixboro Historic School House, once a one-room learning centre, now serves as a community gathering space—hosting performances, farmers markets and cultural events.
This investment will help support critical restoration efforts, including installing a bathroom facility to expand usability, reparation and replacement of historic windows and interior cosmetic upgrades to increase functionality for community events and performances.
