City of Houghton Master Plan

The City of Houghton Planning Commission is working on a new Master Plan which will replace the last Master Plan done in 1972.  The Commission expects to complete a draft of the Plan by June of 2012. 

One of the first steps to creating a Master Plan is to create an Executive Summary which provides the basis for planning in the City of Houghton as well as a summary of our existing conditions.  Click here to view a copy of the Executive Summary.

  • A very important step in the planning process is public input.  The Planning Commission plans to solicit public comments in two ways:

  • A survey that will be randomly distributed to residents throughout the City in an effort to receive comment from residents in every section of the City including students.  CLICK FOR SURVEY RESULTS

Houghton residents gave their suggestions to update the master plan at informal neighborhood meetings held in March. Topics of discussion included walking and biking routes, public green space areas, and neighborhood improvements. The Planning Commission will take information gathered from the survey and these meetings to create the first draft of the master plan. There will then be another public meeting held to review the draft and make further comments.
