Economic Resiliency Response Plan & Master Plan Update
Economic Resiliency Response Plan & Master Plan Update
Port Sheldon Township
Port Sheldon Township is soliciting proposals from experienced planning consultants to provide an Economic Resiliency Response Plan, which includes an update or rewrite of the Master Land Use Plan.
The announcement of the early closure of Consumers Energy’s J.H. Campbell Generating plant, scheduled for decommissioning in May of 2025, presents significant challenges for land use and strategic planning. The potential loss of tax revenue from the largest single payer, warrants an Economic Resiliency Response Plan, which will address future economic needs, and strategic planning for resiliency beyond the decommissioning of the coal plant.
Additionally, the Master Land Use Plan was written in 1995 and last updated in 2017, and in its current form is less than adequate to meet all the Township’s current and future needs.
Any questions may be directed to Mike Sabatino, Township Supervisor mike@portsheldontwp.org
and CC: Amanda Murray amanda.murray@lakeshoreadvantage.com
View the Request for Proposals here.
Updates continue!
The Township has been making progress updating township amenities! Automatic doors have been added to each entrance to the Township Hall and Offices- this upgrade has made the building so much more accessible for residents. Another project that will be happening soon is replacing the playground at the Township Hall. The old play structure will be removed yet this fall, and the new playground’s installation is planned for the spring.
