The city's Master Plan serves as our official guide for growth and development over the next 10 to 20 years. It is the "road map" detailing a long-term vision and policy agenda for important issues related to growth, development, land use, sustainability and design of public and private spaces.
The plan answers, "What should Battle Creek look like?" and, just as importantly, "How do we get there?"

After a lengthy public process, our current Master Plan was adopted by the Planning Commission on Feb. 28, 2018, and by the City Commission on March 6, 2018. The previous plan was adopted in 1997. You can view the 1997 Comprehensive Plan/Master plan here, in our archives. 

Houseal Lavigne Associates was the city's consultant for this process, and maintained a project website, which is still available, and linked from the flyer below the link to the plan.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this process!
