Focus Groups

Traverse City Strategic Action Plan Focus Groups February 18 – 20, 2025

The strategic planning process thus far has involved extensive community and stakeholder outreach including a survey, Think-Tank workshop, Community Visioning Sessions, and a Strategic Round Table.

To explore the key themes that have arisen through the process so far, six Focus Group sessions will be held between February 18 and 20. These 2-hour facilitated Focus Groups will cover topics  identified as critical to the future of Traverse City. A key part of the strategic planning process, the Focus Groups will explore a series of crucial questions and help to synthesize community and stakeholder input from the engagement so far.
