Please take note of the Following,

“Community master plans are public policy planning documents that are to provide guidance to the Planning Commission and the Weldon Township Board of Trustees regarding land use and capital infrastructure decisions.  

The Master Plan will establish a vision and expectations for Weldon Township’s future development.  The document is designed to be comprehensive and provide plans and action strategies for new development while supporting the community’s sense of place and while supporting Thompsonville as the commercial center of the Township.  

The Weldon Township Master Plan will serve as a framework for the development of Weldon Township through a series of objectives, strategies, and action policies.  The master plan will take a long-range view of the community and guide development for the next 10 to 20 years while providing flexibility to respond to changing conditions, innovations, and new information. 

Weldon Township is updating its Master Plan, and we need your help to guide the future development of our community.  During the plan’s term (up to twenty years into the future), the plan will serve as a guide on projects and sets land use priorities for the Township.  

To make the plan reflect Weldon Township, we need to know what you (residents, property owners, and business owners) would like to be developed in the Township.  What are some of the issues that impact your enjoyment of living in the Township?  What land use decisions could be done that would improve the Township?   The workshop will be asking these questions.   

The Township is updating its land use Master Plan, and your input is necessary to guide this process.   Your information will help to set the goals and objectives for the development of the community.   

To gather this input, the Township is hosting a public input workshop on Wednesday January 23, 2019 at 6 PM in the Weldon Township Hall.  There will be a brief presentation, a few small group exercises, and a wrap-up presentation.  Weldon Township Hall is located at 14731 Thompsonville Avenue in the Village of Thompsonville.  

Results of the Workshop will assist the Master Plan Ad Hoc Steering Committee in providing feedback to the consultant team who are working on the plan for the Township.  With that feedback, the consultant team will update the community’s existing Master Plan and then present it to the Weldon Township Planning Commission for their input.  

The goal is to present a final draft of the proposed Master Plan update to the Planning Commission at its May 2019 meeting.  The Weldon Township Board of Trustees would then authorize the plan to be distributed for a 63-day comment period to all of the surrounding jurisdictions.  After the required review period and a formal public hearing, the plan could be adopted by the Planning Commission at its June meeting.  

The consultant team of Wade Trim Associates and Statecraft, LLC is also working on revising the Township’s Zoning Ordinance.   The goal is to have that process completed by October 2019.  Input from the workshop will also be used to inform this process.  

Any questions or additional information, please contact the Weldon Township offices at (231) 378-2477.”
