Planning Comission

The Vernon Township Planning Committee is responsible for guiding the growth and development of the township in an organized and sustainable manner. This committee typically reviews and recommends policies related to land use, zoning, housing, transportation, and environmental conservation. It evaluates proposals for new developments, such as subdivisions, commercial buildings, or infrastructure projects, to ensure they align with the township’s comprehensive master plan and zoning ordinances. The committee often works closely with residents, developers, and local government officials to balance economic development with community needs and environmental concerns. By doing so, the planning committee helps shape the township’s long-term vision and maintain its character and livability.

The Vernon Township Planning Commission meets on the first Monday of every month at 7:00 PM. Meetings are held at the Vernon Township Hall located at 6801 S. Durand Rd, Durand, MI. Meetings may be cancelled if the Planning Commission does not have items to discuss.
