Millcreek
Planning
Commission
Focus Areas
The survey also asked
residents if the Planning
Commission was on the
right track with their
five focus areas that will
be used to improve the
community through the
Embrace Millcreek
planning process.
The results showed
that over 80% of
respondents either
“agree” or “strongly
agree” that each of the
focus areas would help
make the Millcreek
community a better
place to live. Although
all five areas have the
community’s support, two stand out with
over 50% of respondents indicating that
they “strongly agree”: Work to attract
innovative businesses and advanced
manufacturing and clean up and beautify
our main streets.
Community Comments
In addition to the Township report card
and rating the focus areas, many
suggestions and ideas were shared with
the hopes of making Millcreek even better.
Over 500 suggestions were collected. The
Planning Commission and Township Staff
will review and evaluate each of those
responses publishing a final community
survey report in November, which will be
available at www.millcreektownship.com/
EmbraceMillcreek . If you would like to be
notified when the report is available or
would like to be notified of Embrace
Millcreek progress and updates, please email
[email protected]
and to be sure to be added to the mailing
list.
Next Steps
Once the survey results and community
comments have been evaluated, the
Planning Commission will use the
information collected to
develop a “Request for
Proposals” to publicly
advertise for a planning
consultant firm to work
with the Planning
Commission. The firm
will provide technical
expertise and the
professional capacity
that is necessary to
develop the Embrace
Millcreek Community
Plan. The planning
process will then
officially kick off in
January 2017.
The Millcreek
Township Supervisors
want to thank everyone
who took time to
complete the survey and
look forward working
together to Embrace
Millcreek.
