We are currently working on our Sturgis Main Street Master Plan. If you would like to offer input as to what direction you would like to see Sturgis go, you can voice your opinion on our Partners Page.

Americans love Mom & Pop shops. We love their attentive customer service, their unique merchandise, and the special atmosphere of their stores, as opposed to the cookie-cutter retail chains that all seem to sell the same thing. We also love our heritage, and many Main Street districts are the cultural centers of their communities.

Subject: Sturgis Comprehensive Plan

Legendary Sturgis Main Street Master Plan.

The team of Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson and RDG Planning & Design is honored to have been retained by the City of Sturgis to develop a new comprehensive plan for the community. We are pleased to welcome you to this process, and are excited to build on the work already accomplished by Future Sturgis to work with you to develop a blueprint for the growth and development of Sturgis. Our entire planning process is built on a partnership with citizens of Sturgis, and we are beginning this work with a visit to Sturgis to kick off the plan. We will be in town next week, March 8 through 10, and will be meeting with Future Sturgis committees, the Planning Commission, and the plan�s steering committee. These meetings will be informal sessions to talk about the city and its issues and opportunities, and to learn more about the city and the perspectives and priorities of Future Sturgis.

Sturgis Community Development Director Rick Bush is developing a schedule and will be in touch with you via email about specific meeting times. We hope that we will have the opportunity to meet you during our initial visit next week. In addition, we have posted the scope of work for the planning process and a copy of the PowerPoint presentation that we made to the consultant selection committee to the project website. We hope that this will provide an introduction to the process. The website will be regularly updated throughout the process providing information on meeting announcements, presentations, and draft documents.
