LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Over the last year, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, together with partners Accelerate Jackson County, Experience Jackson, the Jackson Community Foundation, City of Jackson, Jackson County and others have laid the foundation for Drive Jackson, a bold 20-year vision plan for the County.
With nearly 6,000 pieces of feedback from over 1,300 residents, local government and businesses through county-wide meetings, pop-up events and online surveys, a 24-person Key Leadership Committee and stakeholders worked to develop the plan with the guidance of Planning NEXT.
The plan articulates a shared community vision for the future, identifying core values and priorities that reflect the needs of residents. It provides a framework for action—policies, programs and projects that bring the vision to life, ensuring long-term success with a roadmap that can be revisited and updated over time. The process honored Jackson County’s rich heritage while ensuring growth that strengthens its identity, attracts new residents, supports businesses and enhances quality of life for generations to come. Community input was essential in making this vision a reality.
