City of Detroit Seeks Citizen Input

Mar 13, 2003

This spring the City of Detroit's Planning and Development Department along with the Mayor's Office - Neighborhood City Halls will begin to solicit community input into the revision of the City's Master Plan of Policies. The Master Plan is prepared by the City's Planning and Development Department and is the City's official policy document guiding the social, economic and physical development and conservation of the city. The city's current development projects and policy changes.

In 1997 City agencies, businesses and residents gathered to produce the Community Reinvestment Strategy. The Strategy included comprehensive recommendations for reinvestment across the entire city.

The revision of the Master Plan will be considering the recommendations of the Community Reinvestment Strategy. The community meetings wil be an opportunity for the City's Planning and Development Department to gather input from residents and businesses regarding the revision of the Master Plan and the inclusion of recommendations from the Community Reinvestment Strategy and any other recommendations.

The current Master Plan and Community Reinvestment Strategy recommendations are available at branches of the Detroit Public Library or at the Planning and Development Department's Web site, see:
