About Flint

The City of Flint, located in southeastern Michigan, is a mid-size city with a population of approximately 125,000.  Although the city is best known as the birthplace of General Motors, shifts in industry have caused the area to become better known for its educational opportunities, cultural center, shopping centers, and recreational activities, including the Crim Festival of Races and the Buick Open (part of the PGA Tour).

Transportation to and from Flint is convenient.  The city’s location at the intersection of two major state highways, I-75 and I-69, make travel to nearby cities convenient.  Flint is located approximately 60 miles from such major cities as Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing.  The city has a local MTA bus system and an Amtrak train station.  Bishop International Airport is located just minutes outside of Flint.
