3/21/13 - A new strategic plan was outlined for Green Oak Township last night by representatives from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, which helped the township lay the groundwork for the plan. A strategic plan is a set of guidelines used by a municipality to plan how it will offer and manage services offered to its residents, ranging from public safety to recreation. It is different from a master plan, which focuses on zoning and land usage. SEMCOG drafted the new strategic plan after discussing the priorities of the township with the board during an eight-hour retreat. Township Supervisor Mark St. Charles says the new strategic plan includes some specific conclusions, such as the need to improve the townshipâs police building, increase bike paths and non-motorized trail access, and improve communication with residents through township newsletters and online. The township would also like to offer more activities that would help define the identity of the community. (TD)
