Form our City together!

Master Plans are statutorily required in Michigan and set a long-range vision for the future of a place. They set the context for public and private development, land use, infrastructure, utilities, transportation, housing, and natural resources.

A future land use map that establishes where growth should go and what form it should take.

A set of goals and policies that give staff a consistent basis for making and defending decisions.

An action agenda tied to realistic funding pathways

The current plan is more than a decade old. A new plan ensures the City has the right tools to continue serving the community. Demographic shifts, economic transitions, and new development have reshaped the City’s needs and opportunities. The City has made meaningful investments in recent years. A new plan ensures those efforts build toward a unified vision.

There will be multiple ways to get involved. Sign up here for email updates.
