La Porte County and the Cities of Michigan City and La Porte are working with the consulting firm Duncan Associates to create a comprehensive, countywide Land Development Plan.
The first step in this process involves meeting with a wide variety of local officials, groups and citizens to identify key issues. The consultant team will prepare maps and analyze demographic trends, economic trends, natural resources and infrastructure. While working closely with local officials and a local citizen advisory group, the consultant will also develop specific policies and implementation strategies. The resulting Countywide Land Development Plan will be crafted in such a way that it is useful for public officials, members of the development community, and residents of all La Porte County communities.
