As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 2,483. Clio is home to Michigan's second tallest construction, the WEYI Tower (also known as the Barrington Broadcasting's tower for WEYI and WBSF). The structure is an FM radio and television guyed radio mast, 1,349 feet (414 m) tall. The city is considered a suburb of Flint and is located entirely within Vienna Township, but is administratively autonomous. Clio is sometimes referred to as CL10 or CL-10. It cannot be verified that this title references the city's proximity to County Line 10 and therefore explains the origin of the City's name. It is also referred to as the "Home of the 420", due to the fact that Clio has a zip code of 48420. On July 23, 2007 Governor Jennifer Granholm announced Clio as a community chosen by the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) to take part in the Blueprints for Downtowns program. Clio will receive a comprehensive, market-driven strategy toward developing an action-oriented downtown that will result in economic growth, job creation and private investments. The Blueprints for Downtowns award, were announced to be also received by the communities of Caro and Ypsilanti. Scottville received a similar award to take part in the Cool Cities Michigan Main Street program. Clio is the only city in the nation that has 60% of its land as parks and forest. |
