The Plan and Design Kick-Off Week for East Lansing’s 18-month update to its comprehensive plan is set to take place Oct. 14 – 17.
The comprehensive plan is a policy document for the physical, economic and social development of the city, reviewed for updates every five years to project land use planning 20 years in advance.
This week, community members can give their feedback during multiple events specially created for Plan and Design Kick-Off Week.
