Goal 2 - Environmental Sustainability

• Implement environmentally friendly and sustainable policies for both public and private projects while investing in replacement of aging infrastructure throughout the Township.

Goal 3 - Enhance Redevelopment in Key Areas

• Enhance our standing as a prime location to develop, own, and operate a business, with a focus on the redevelopment of our primary commercial areas: downtown Okemos, downtown Haslett, Carriage Hills, and the Meridian Mall.

Goal 4 - Senior/Community Center
