Ford River Township began the process to update the community’s Master Plan in 2022. The Planning Commission and Township Board engaged the services of a planning consultant, GRAEF, to help conduct the community engagement process and draft the Plan. The Planning Commission guided the overall planning process with support from the consultant.
Ford River Township has been proactive in land use planning since the 1970s. In 1981, the Ford River Township Board passed a resolution
recognizing that the Township had experienced significant growth and would undoubtedly continue to grow, particularly with the expansion of the former Mead Paper Company. The Board also realized that growth would place additional demands on land in the coastal zone area of the Township, and resolved to plan and minimize the impact of future development along the coastal zone areas. These basic principles continue to guide land use planning in the Township today.
