November 4, 2022 – Add “provided input on the Master Plan” to your morning routine on Wednesday, November 9 by visiting Coffee Chaos for a beverage and a chat with City of Midland staff.
On Wednesday, November 9 from 6 – 9 a.m., members from the Planning Department will visit Coffee Chaos, 6201 Jefferson Avenue, to collect public input for the Midland City Modern Master Plan process. Residents are invited to sit down and engage in a conversation while enjoying a coffee, beverage, or breakfast. There will be no formal presentations, set agendas, or materials to review: just an opportunity to talk with staff about the future of Midland. Look for the City Modern logo and grab a seat at the table!
Similar events are being planned at other establishments in the coming months. More information on these events will be announced when details are available.
“The key to a successful, inclusive Master Plan that is representative of the entire community’s future vision is public input,” said Director of Planning and Community Development Jacob Kain. “By visiting popular community gathering spaces such as local watering holes, coffee shops, and social amenities, we can meet people where they are and have meaningful two-way conversations.”
The City’s Master Plan serves as the City’s official policy guide and strategy for community improvements and development over the next 30 years. Master plans help maintain a consistent vision in cities while directing redevelopment and change, increasing livability and neighborhoods, and transforming it into a more sustainable, innovative, accessible, attractive, and economically vibrant community. The City’s last comprehensive master planning process took place in 2005 – 2006.
