PART ONE - DESCRIPTION OF FOREST HOME TOWNSHIP

INTRODUCTION

 

OVERALL PHILOSOPHY

The Forest Home Township Master Plan was developed by a nine member committee established for that purpose under the direction of the Forest Home Township Planning Commission. The committee's efforts were guided by Vision, Mission and Goal Statements. These guiding principles are supplemented by a series of action statements that indicate specifically how each goal will be achieved.

 

Our vision of what Forest Home Township will look like in the future is:

 

"We picture Forest Home Township as a hilly peninsula surrounded by clean, clear lakes and rivers. From our roadways we see vistas of farms & fields, meadows and forests, lakes and valleys. People's homes and businesses are built in harmony with nature."

 

Our mission is:

 

"To preserve, protect and enhance the land and water resources of the township. We want to encourage desirable development options and to ensure a rural way of life for the people who live and visit here."

 

 

Our goals are to:

 

·                    "Preserve and protect our township's natural resources.

 

·                    "Preserve and protect the rural character of our township."

 

·                    "Encourage land use consistent with the rural character of our township."

 

·                    "Provide a level of community services that is appropriate for the desired level and location of development in our township.
