Delta County Commissioner Meeting (03/04/2025): Vets, Planes, Buses, Paths, and Opioid Money

If you continue to watch the videos of the meetings you will come to understand how connected local governance is to its citizens. People are actively working to accommodate each other and they are acting in ways that increase opportunities and growth. Step back a moment and think about how working together and focusing on key objectives can impact choice and growth  in a way that benefits as many people as possible. Further, how listening to stakeholders and deeply considering needs before making choices is leading to growth potential. 

-Master plan. The master plan is considering opportunities for development. Think of this as a strategic plan of growth and how to maximize quality of life. 

-Hiring of Veteran Director. (Services in the area improve dramatically and fast become pro-veteran.)

-Hiring Airport Manager. Some new business coming into town. Part of master plan. (Based on market changes, new warehouse, ports, central location, etc. it could help attract and support business and tourism)

-Public transit and connecting counties. (Could support economic growth.)

-Fiber network expansion. (Good for development of business, innovation, learning, and digital nomads).

-Non-motorized paths (Great for tourism, aesthetics, and quality of life.)

-Michigan Works one of the stronger branches will have budget reduction.

-Opioid task for fund grants open. (Short term cash infusions should consider long-term benefits of investment.)

(At some point in the future there is likely going to be a revisit of trash management and solar power.)
