The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) today designated the Jackson 2-1-1 Call Center as the 2-1-1 answering point for Lenawee and Livingston counties.  

The abbreviated dialing number 2-1-1 has been assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to enable callers to reach community resource and referral answering points. 

In today's order, the Commission designates Jackson 2-1-1 Call Center as the answering point for the following rate centers:  Adrian, Blissfield, Brighton, Byron, Clayton, Deerfield, Fenton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell, Linden, Morenci, Ogden Center, Onsted, Pinckney, Sand Creek, and Tecumseh.  Livingston county rate centers Brighton, Byron, Fenton, Fowlerville, Hartland, Howell, Linden, and Pinckney are transferred to Jackson from UWRCC; and Lenawee county rate centers Adrian, Blissfield, Clayton, Deerfield, Morenci, Ogden Center, Onsted, Sand Creek, and Tecumseh are assigned to Jackson.    

The Commission notes that Addison, Hudson, and Waldron are already under Jackson's designation, and Gregory will remain with UWRCC. 

Jackson 2-1-1 Call Center will provide operation of the 2-1-1 telephone number 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The Commission concluded that its approval is provisional, in part, due to the FCC's ability to recall the 2-1-1 number.

The MPSC is an agency within the Department of Labor & Economic Growth.
