Early in 2025 the Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority and City Planning Commission co-hosted a community engagement event and informational workshop on the City’s Master Plan and the WeAreTR: Imagine2040!
Before open discussion, a brief presentation on the city’s current plans (i.e., Downtown and 2020 Master Plans) as well as the importance of connecting plan development, future land uses, and implementation efforts will be shared.
This public event fulfills a best practice requirement as Three Rivers is recognized by the Michigan Economic Development (MEDC) as a Redevelopment Ready Community!
Please note: Links to the city’s Community Survey and other opportunities to provide input (for the Planning Commission) are found further below on this page (or here)!…
The City of Three Rivers has updated its Comprehensive Master Plan: WeAreTR: Imagine 2040, which directs city-wide policy and future decisions for land use, transportation, neighborhoods, parks, infrastructure, downtown, and more!
WeAreTR: Imagine 2040 is an action-oriented plan that identifies priority steps for the next several years and helps lead the City of Three Rivers into a vibrant and sustainable future!
Past Community Participation Events
In January 2020, a series of visioning topics for the city’s future were announced and opened to thoughts and reactions from city residents and business owners to help guide decisions and strategies for the future of Three Rivers! This event was held at City Hall (333 W. Michigan Ave.) throughout the afternoon of Monday the 20th of January. The interactive gathering was designed to provide feedback and share thoughts on topics including downtown development, recreation and river access, housing and neighborhoods, and local aesthetics and beautification …as well as overall city growth.
While everyone was welcomed to participate at any time, there were also facilitated discussions on the following topics…
- Downtown Development and City Growth.
- Housing and Neighborhoods.
- Recreation and River Access.
- Local Aesthetics and Beautification.
- Transportation and Connectivity.
Immediately following, everyone was invited to participate in a march in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., beginning at City Hall. The march went through downtown Three Rivers and up N. Main St. to the First Presbyterian Church for a dinner and celebration …“Solidarity through Diversity”… by TRAFC. For more information refer to the TRAFC’s Facebook event page (here) or listen to the WLKM radio ad (here).
