Earlier this year, Middleton Township contracted with Crossroads Community Planning, a firm that specializes in helping townships like ours (including nearby Troy and Richfield Townships) navigate smart, community-focused growth. On September 30, 2026, the Middleton Township Land Use Planning Working Group held its kickoff meeting, and it was very productive.
The 8-member township resident working group brings a range of perspectives to the table. This group includes our township zoning inspector, a township trustee, rural residents, local business owners, subdivision residents, large landowners, and an agricultural representative.
During the first session, we dove right into analyzing our township’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats regarding land use.
What’s Next & How You Can Get Involved:
- Resident Survey: Keep an eye on your mailbox! A survey will be sent to every township resident in the next coming weeks. We strongly urge you to complete it and make your voice heard. Your feedback is critical in shaping our future.
- Community Open House: Once the surveys are collected and reviewed, we will host an open house where all residents can join us in person to share additional input and ideas.
We are committed to updating our land use plan in a fully transparent, collaborative way to achieve the absolute best results for our growing township.
