There's just two days left to fill out your Grand Vision Scorecard and weigh in on how you think our region should grow. Leelanau.com developed the web site for The Grand Vision, and we feel it's critically important that everyone take a little time to think about how our region will accommodate the tens of thousands of new residents that will move to northwest Michigan in the coming years. The results of the Grand Vision will help guide how money is spent on transportation in our region for years to come.
Please take the time (just 10 or 15 minutes) to fill out your scorecard and please also pass it along to your friends & family!
Today begins a 3 week period in which year-round and seasonal residents from all across the region will fill out "The Grand Vision Scorecard", a survey designed by The Grand Vision to establish a long-term vision for the next 50+ years of development in Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, Leelanau and Wexford counties.
The Leelanau County Kickoff event takes place next Monday (October 13) at the MSU Horticultural Research Station.
In just over a month, residents of Leelanau County (also also Antrim, Benzie, Grand Traverse, Kalkaska, and Wexford counties) will be asked to help decide the next 50+ years of transportation and land use development in our region through a project involving community, government, business and citizens known as The Grand Vision.
Leelanau.com has been working on videos that explore what people across the region feel about issues surrounding the growth of the area. Here's the latest (click to YouTube to watch in high-quality) - please share this important effort with your friends & family and click over to thegrandvision.org to see more videos, learn more about the project and how you can get involved!
