The Marquette DDA recently received a MI Place Plan initiative grant for redesign assistance to Baraga Avenue. The MI Place Plan team, a collaboration between the Michigan Municipal League (MML), the MSU Urban and Regional Planning Program, and the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), will be in Marquette on Thursday, February 27, 2014 and will be conducting a visioning session. The community is invited to attend and share their input and vision for the future development and design of Baraga Avenue. The project parameters are Baraga Avenue from Third Street to Lakeshore Blvd.
In addition to the DDA's meeting plans, MQT Arts & Culture Center is also seeking public opinion on the upcoming Arts and Culture Master Plan. Open forums occurred earlier this month at Lakeview Arena, but now a survey has been open to the public as well. The two online surveys are split into an open public survey and a survey for artists. According to the artist survey, it is intended for "all creative disciplines; architecture, literary, dance, theater, film, design, music and visual arts."
The artist survey can be found here, while the open public survey can be found here.
