Livingston County’s 2026 Master Plan is available for review & public comment
The Livingston County Planning Department has drafted a new 2026 Livingston County Master Plan that is now available for review and comment. The new master plan represents a comprehensive two-year initiative that is heavily shaped by public engagement and data-driven analysis.
Public input has revealed a strong support and interest for farmland and open space preservation, a priority that is further reinforced by the Michigan Association of Planning’s award for the Livingston County, Michigan: 2025 Sustainable Agriculture, Food Systems, and Rural Environments Plan. Demographic analysis reveals a rapidly aging population with significant implications for healthcare, housing, and transportation while the plan promotes intergenerational strategies that meet the needs of older residents while attracting and retaining younger households. The plan details the people, economy, natural resources, infrastructure, transportation, and other components of the Livingston County community.
The plan concludes with an existing land use inventory and a future land use component that is intended to utilize current development trends to establish a sound vision for the future informed by resident input and local community plans. The Livingston County 2026 Master Plan provides a strategic approach to managing growth, preserving community identity, and ensuring progress toward sustainable development.
The draft copy of the Livingston County 2026 Master Plan will be available on the Livingston County website for review and comment period that continues until Jan. 26: https://milivcounty.gov/planning/2026-master-plan/. An interactive feedback form is available online for residents to complete if they’d like.
A hard copy of the plan will also be available for review at the Livingston County Planning Department, 304 E. Grand River Ave., Howell, MI, Suite 206.
