County Looks to Launch Community Development Department
By Beth Milligan | June 9, 2026
Grand Traverse County is getting closer to launching a new community development department – a team that would help lead county planning, land use, and economic development efforts and foster regional collaboration. County commissioners will receive an update on the project at a 9am special meeting Wednesday.
Commissioners will also discuss a planned housing study, staff salary recommendations, a closed session on the potential purchase of the PACE building, and whether to discontinue invocations at the start of county meetings.
