Virtual Master Plan Public Meeting

Welcome to the virtual public meeting for Plan Kalamazoo!

We're sorry you couldn't make it to one of our public meetings, but we understand that sometimes life gets in the way. That's why we've created a virtual meeting for you to attend.

Let's start by signing in, so we know who you are. (This will pop up in a new window, please close it to get back to this screen when finished.) If you leave us your e-mail address, you can get e-mail updates about future meetings and the plan process.

Next, take a look at our Welcome Board.

If you want, we have some additional information about Master Plans, in general, in these Master Plan Handouts.

And finally, take a look at our presentation.
