The New Master Plan Is Now Available

The new Farmington Hills Master Plan, the Next 50, is available at the link to the right.

The plan will guide future land use decisions over the next 15-20 years and was developed over the course of three years with involvement from residents of all walks of life.

What is a Master Plan?

A Master 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, master plans are to be reviewed by the Planning Commission every 5 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 coordinate with other communities, county and regional plans and reports.
