Pontiac Master Plan Webinar 8-12-24

The City of Pontiac held a webinar on August 12, 2024, to discuss the ongoing update of the city's master plan, known as Vision Pontiac. The meeting focused on the planning process, public engagement strategies, and initial demographic and economic findings. Key topics included housing strategies, zoning updates, workforce development, commercial redevelopment, and infrastructure improvements. The master plan update aims to guide future development and zoning changes over the next 20 to 30 years, with a strong emphasis on community input and inclusivity. The process includes multiple public workshops, town halls, and a mandated 63-day public comment period starting in December 2024, culminating in recommendations to the Planning Commission and City Council for adoption. While no specific procurement or contract awards were discussed, the plan will influence future city resource allocation and development projects.
