Mt. Pleasant, MI – Earlier this year, the City of Mt. Pleasant contracted with Progressive Companies to lead the development of an improvement plan for Mission Street. In collaboration with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and with funding from the State of Michigan Redevelopment Ready Communities program, the city convened a steering committee and distributed an online survey to capture public insight.
The Mission Street steering committee is composed of local business owners, representatives from Central Michigan University, the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Disability Network of Mid-Michigan, the Mt. Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce, the Mt. Pleasant Area Convention & Visitors Bureau, Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and appointed and elected officials.
On September 26, 2024, Progressive Companies will present potential design concepts to the community based on information extracted from the online surveys and the steering committee. There are several opportunities for residents to prioritize potential Mission Street improvements and provide feedback. They are as follows:
Farmers’ Market – Island Park, 9 – 11 a.m.
o $5 tokens to be redeemed at the market will be given to the first 20 participants.
