A Comprehensive Plan is a long-range vision for the future of the community. It provides a framework for making big-picture decisions and can promote and strengthen valued community assets as well as encourage new partnerships and opportunities. In Michigan, any plan adopted under the Michigan Planning Enabling Act is to be reviewed by the Planning Commission every five years. While major updates may not be necessary, it is important that communities review their plans to ensure they are relevant to the current and projected needs and wants of a community and are in alignment with plans and reports of other communities, the county, and the region.
