Why Sell Your Gold To Premier Jewelers? PREMIERBUYSGOLD.COM
THREE GREAT REASONS
REASON ONE Gold prices are at an all-time high. REASON TWO Premier pays more for your gold because we buy more gold than anyone in Southwest Michigan. Ä?Â?Ăœ>ĂžĂƒ }iĂŒ ĂŒÂ…i *Ă€i“ˆiĂ€ ÂŤĂ€ÂˆVi wĂ€ĂƒĂŒt
REASON THREE Premier pays even more if your gold is resalable. Just consider: your gold jewelry made years ago with lower cost gold could never be made with as much gold at today’s prices. Gold estate jewelry is a hot seller, and we’ll pay you more for yours!

Neighborhood Planning Councils (NPCs) are resident-based groups that serve an important and specific purpose in our community. The purpose of Neighborhood Planning Councils is to provide a forum to inform and discuss with neighborhood residents and representatives of the City staff and City Commissioners, issues and concerns of that neighborhood. Generally, the City informs the NPC of facts and potential results of pending decisions, opportunities or other changes. The NPC discusses and decides what, if any, recommendations it would like to make or strategies they would like to develop.
