(BRONSON) - A draft of the Bronson Parks and Recreation Master Plan is available to the public.
Monday afternoon, Bronson City Manager Brandon Mersman shared that the proposed Master Plan would run from 2027 until 2031. During a recent collection of community input through the public survey, the updated plan establishes the City's vision and goals along with capital improvement priorities for the City's parks and recreation programs for the next five years.
Mersman says maintaining and updating the City's Parks and Recreation Master Plan is a critical prerequisite for Bronson being eligible for Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund Grants, which they have received in the past. Mersman says so far there have been 172 survey responses, which is better than the last two times when there were 64 and 65 respondents. (LISTEN ABOVE)
Mersman says the draft Plan will be available for a 30-day public comment period. Copies will be accessible online at the City website which is Bronson dash mi dot com. There will also be copies available at Bronson City Hall and the Bronson Library.
Once the public input window is closed, the City Council will be asked to vote on the plan during their December 14 meeting.
