Howell
Howell is the seat of Livingston County, a growing community with a beautifully preserved historic downtown around its 1890s courthouse, known for the Howell Melon Festival and a walkable main street of boutiques and restaurants between Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Lansing. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Howell area's boutiques, restaurants, professional firms, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, nationwide, with on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
