The Draft Grand Haven Master Plan has been approved for distribution!
Use the links below to view and download all or part of the draft plan. It is still a draft and may change after we receive further comments from citizens, Ottawa County and neighboring units of government. After that, the Planning Commission will host an open house and public hearing in late August or early September. Watch this space for more details as that meeting is finalized.

In the meantime, we hope you will look over the draft plan and contact us to give us the benefit of your views or to ask questions.
