Community Invited to Presentation of Goodison Plan Wednesday

The Goodison Sub-Area Plan Committee invites Oakland Township residents to the public presentation of the plan Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the .

The plan is the result of intensive research and planning and includes input gathered during the three-day community charrette. Tonight's meeting is open to the public.

What is Goodison?

Goodison is a historic unincorporated hamlet in Oakland Township that retains traces of the community’s rustic beginnings, which date back to 1827. Goodison once functioned as the town center for Oakland Township, developing into the economic, cultural and educational center of the agrarian community which surrounded it.

Why a Sub-Area Plan?

The 2005 Oakland Township Master Plan called for the perpetuation of Goodison as the township’s focal point and included general land use recommendations. Now, the Township is embarking on a concentrated planning effort focused solely on Goodison. A Sub-Area Plan is helpful because Goodison is distinct from the areas that surround it, and because it will allow the community to center its attention on that distinction and to define its future.
