Arcadia Township Master Plan
Township of Arcadia Master Plan
Arcadia Township, Networks Northwest and Michigan State University have partnered to develop a new community Master Plan for the Township. While all of Networks Northwest's planning processes include a public input component, this project is unique in the number of opporunities residents have to provide their ideas. Throughout 2026, the planning team will engage members of the public through an online survey, 3 design meetings hosted by the Michigan State University Sustainable Built Environment Initiative (SBEI), 2 pop-up events and local gatherings, as well as a Public Input Session for more open-ended idea sharing.
The goal for the Township and the rest of the planning team is to ensure that Arcadia has a clear and well-supported view of the future, including small and large projects alike. We hope you will join us throughout 2026!

The Networks Northwest team did a great job to help the City of Charlevoix and Charlevoix Township collaborate in addressing housing challenges in our community. They facilitated dialogue with Planning Commissioners, community stakeholders, and municipal officials to develop a plan for cohesive zoning in areas of growth for our two governments. Further, they were able to pinpoint the challenges in each unit and propose changes that would be beneficial all around. Together, we believe we'll be better prepared for housing developments and job growth in our region. We look forward to working with them on future projects!
