Southwest Michigan Community Action Agency –  Low Income Household Water Assistance Program. (LIHWAP)

This Draft Trail Plan was developed by a student group from MSU who worked with Professor Bob Wilson in his trail building class. It is a draft plan, and it is critical to know that the work is not endorsed by Michigan State University. It is not intended to provide legal or planning advice. The recommendations should be reviewed and discussed by local planning and legal officials prior to any implementation.

As you will see, the vision outlined in this plan reaches far beyond the Village boundaries and would require coordination with neighboring townships, Cass County, local organizations, and residents throughout the region. Trail development is a long‑term, multi‑phase effort and can be expensive to build and maintain. By sharing this plan now, our goal is simply to make the information available so community members and potential partners can review it, discuss possibilities, and consider whether future collaboration or funding opportunities might be feasible.
