Forks Comprehensive Plan – Public Comment

The Forks Township Planning Commission will hold a public comment session for the Township Comprehensive Plan on Tuesday March 25, 2007. The plan can be downloaded at http://www.forkstownship.org/compplan.pdf

The township will host an open house from 6:30 to 7:00 PM with public comment starting at 7:00 PM. I cannot stress enough the importance of public input into our comprehensive plan.

According to the Forks Action Committee web site, “the plan update process has been in progress for well over a year. Discussions began in October 2006 and work on it began in January 2007. The PC devoted monthly workshops (on the fourth Tuesday of every month) to it. Residents' input was welcomed and encouraged”.


“Subcommittees (of Forks residents) were formed to tackle four main areas: Transportation, Economic Development, Recreation, and Agricultural/Open Space Preservation/Architectural Review”.



I was honored to lead the Recreation Committee as we developed new ideas for expanding the activities at the community center, developing recommendations for maintenance of our multi-use trails, a strategy to connect all the trails within the township, and participating with other communities to develop a regional approach to multi-use trials.

This meeting is important. Please make plans to attend!

If you have any ideas or comments about critical issues facing Forks Township, please share your ideas via our blog.

Get Involved – Every Voice Counts!


Sincerely,


David Billings
