Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held by the Village of Edmore Council on Monday, February 13, 2017 at 7:00pm at the Village Office, Curtis Community Building located at 209 S. Sheldon Street, Edmore, MI 48829. The public hearing is being held to receive comments and consider the adoption of the Village of Edmore Parks and Recreation Plan 2017-2021.
A Parks and Recreation Plan will assist the Village in identifying recreation needs within the community. The plan will serve as a guide to document priorities for improvements. While a Parks and Recreation Plan assists the community in determining goals and needs, if approved by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) it also qualifies the community for recreation grants which are administered through the MDNR Grants Administration Section.
The hearing is intended to provide an opportunity for interested citizens and stakeholders to express their opinion regarding all aspects of the proposed Parks and Recreation Plan.
Copies of the draft Village of Edmore Parks and Recreation Plan 2017-2021 are available for public review at the Village Offices, located at 209 S. Sheldon Street, Edmore Michigan 48829, Home Township Library located at 329 E. Main Street, Edmore, MI 48829 and at the village website www.edmore.org.

The Village of Edmore Planning Commission will be hosting a Planning Workshop on January 30 at 6:00pm to gather public input for its Parks and Recreation Plan. The 30 day public input period is currently underway and the process will end February 13th with the adoption of the plan by village council. Copies of the draft plan are available at the Edmore Village Offices and at the Home Township Library. For an online copy click Edmore draft recreation plan 2016. Residents and stakeholders in the Village of Edmore are encouraged to attend. For more information please call the village offices.
