Imagine Flint Draft Master Plan
At the August 12th City Council meeting, the Flint City Council unanimously approved Flint's Draft Master Plan for public circulation. This Draft Plan is the product of thousands of hours of work, hundreds of community events, and the efforts of over 5,000 people who attended events in person or participated online. For the next nine weeks (63-days), this draft plan will be available for public viewing at City Hall (1101 S. Saginaw St.) in the Master Plan Office, the Mayor's Office, and the City Clerk's Office. The plan will also be at the Flint Public Library, several churches around Flint, and of course

Commercial Inventory Ongoing in Flint
Many of you may have seen Planning staff members in yellow vests around major commercial corridors in Flint this summer with clipboards and cameras. Thanks to a partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Flint's Neighborhood Small Grants Program, the Planning Department is partnering with 38 neighborhood groups across Flint to complete a comprehensive evaluation of the condition of every single commercial parcel in Flint. Much like the Housing Inventory done in 2012, this information will be used for a whole host of efforts including grant applications for demolition, economic development, and neighborhood redevelopment projects. Keep an eye out for the final report which will be coming this fall as part of the final Master Plan.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We hope that you will make your voice heard and tell us what you like, what you dislike, and what you think should be changed about the Draft Master Plan. This is your plan for your community, and it's up to you to show everyone how you
Imagine Flint.
For Flint,
