Summary

Pam Grassmick argued that the master-plan process should incorporate Island-specific survey work and broader resident input rather than asking residents to choose among consultant options without adequate public participation.

Evidence limits

This entry records a published resident position, not an independent evaluation of the township’s planning process.
