2022 Planning Commission Goals

2022 City Commission Goals

Live TC is a pro-housing citizen-led movement with one agenda and one agenda only: to advocate for abundant homes on Traverse City’s eight square miles.

We’re here because we care about Traverse City’s future.

We’re here to advocate, educate, and build political will for more housing with our partners.

We’re here to fight for an inclusive, sustainable, and economically thriving Traverse City for all.

2022 LIVE TC GOALS

Build public support/political will to help those who work in Traverse City (teachers, nurses, firefighters, etc) also be able to live in Traverse City by lobbying for:

  1. Build HomeStretch’s Lot O project (Cass/State)
  2. Approve the Planning Commission’s 2022 zoning reform goals to support housing
  3. Deliver on the City Commission’s #1 strategic priority (housing) — specifically, building homes on City-owned land like at the Department of Public Services (Woodmere), cemetery-owned snow plowing lot off Airport Access, surface lots downtown (Lot T, G), and land bank parcels (Boardman Lake avenue)
  4. Connect people in need of a home in Traverse City with people who may know of available homes in Traverse City.
