Description	Project Background The Village of Elk Rapids and Elk Rapids Township believe it is in their long-term interests to cooperate on land use planning issues. In 2010, the governing bodies in Village and Township established a Joint Master Plan Planning Committee. Later that year, this Committee - with the help of a planning consultant - estimated the cost of writing a new Collaborative Master Plan at $10,000, to be shared equally by the two government entities. After completing the planning and drafting process through 2012, the draft Master Plan was subjected to the required public review and approval process. Cost Savings/Revenue At the beginning of the planning process for the Collaborative Master Plan, the planning consultant estimated the cost of the master plan at $10,000. By sharing this cost equally, each government entity saved approximately $5,000. Additionally, by entering into this collaborative agreement, the project qualifies for $1,400 in Land Information Access Association grant funding - saving each government entity another $700. Additional Benefits As previously stated, the Village of Elk Rapids is the community Center of Elk Rapids Township. By sharing a Collaborative Master Plan, the communities are taking a big step in an evolution to work more closely together in planning a vision for their community. This Collaborative Master Plan better serves the interests of the community by taking into consideration the needs of both Village and Township residents. A joint venture undertaking of this scale further solidified the already collaborative relationship between the two government entities.
