Initiate the Project

GCMPC staff determined what content should be included in the new plan. A general timeline was created to provide structure in how that information would be collected and compiled into one cohesive document.

Stakeholder Interviews

GCMPC staff reached out to key stakeholders from various agencies and organizations across Genesee County to schedule interviews. Over 100 stakeholders were asked 8 questions to gain their feedback related to community development, transportation, and the environment. This critical input will be used in developing strategies to enhance Genesee County in the future.

Public Input Events

On April 24th, 25th and 26th, GCMPC held three open house sessions to kick off development of Genesee: Our County, Our Future, where nearly 100 residents attended and provided their input.  Information presented at the open houses can be found at the link(s) below.

Data Collection

At the beginning of April 2018, staff began collecting data to be included in various reports that cover topics ranging from Landfills to Round-a-Bouts. These reports are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2018. Please visit the following link for the most recent report drafts: http://ourfuturegenesee.org/technical-reports/.

Goals & Objectives/Performance Measures Development

At the beginning of 2019, staff will begin developing goals, objectives, and measurements based on stakeholder input, public input, and federal/state guidelines. This process is anticipated to be completed June 2019, at which point these items will be displayed at public involvement meetings.

Transportation Call for Projects

In February 2019, staff will work with local agencies and municipalities to select transportation projects. This process is anticipated to be completed at the end of March 2019.

Community Development Call for Projects

In April 2019, staff will work with local agencies and municipalities to select community development projects. This process is anticipated to be completed at the end of June 2019.

Drafting the Combined Plan

In April 2019, staff will begin drafting the Combined Plan based on all components of the planning process that have been completed up until this point. This includes public involvement, data collection, goals/objectives, and selected projects. A final draft of the Combined Plan will potentially be made available around September 2019. A public involvement session will be held October 2019 to seek input on this draft.
