Re-Imagine the M-66 COrridor

Lake City, in coordination with Networks Northwest, has received a grant from the Office of Rural Prosperity to "re-imagine the M-66 corridor." This planning process will engage key stakeholders, members of the public and area youth to understand what is working well and what could be improved along the corridor. This will involve a robust public input process, that we encourage as many community members to participate in as possible. Opportunities to provide input will be features on this page as the process proceeds.

The final deliverables for this project will be a Redevelopment Master Plan Chapter and a complete Economic Development Strategy for the community.

Check back to this page throughout 2024-2025 to keep up to date on project progress and opportunities to give feedback.
