The work session concentrated on the goals and objectives of the present Master Plan. Our old master plan had eleven (11) goals. We went through each one separately and came up with six (6) goals by combining goals or eliminating goals. The goals we felt represented Arvon Township include: Natural Resources and Character; Transportation; Recreation; Housing; Public Service, Government and Infrastructure; and Economic Development. We compared the goals from Marquette County where applicable.
At our next meeting, we will tackle the objectives. We reviewed the old objectives and some will be kept and/or combined with others. We will review the objectives from Marquette County and add new objectives reflecting the comments/suggestions from the public hearing from July 2021.
Next Meeting: Monday, March 28, 2022, 6:00 p.m. at the fire hall.
