City of South Haven Master Plan 2026-2030
The City of South Haven Master Plan 2026 is a five-year roadmap designed to guide the city's growth and redevelopment. It focuses on preserving natural resources and sensitive environments with a strong emphasis on coastal resilience and sustainable shoreline management. The plan also addresses residential development by promoting housing diversity, particularly 'missing middle' options, and preserving neighborhood character while managing short-term rentals. Other strategic priorities include fostering commercial and industrial development, improving transportation and pedestrian circulation, enhancing economic opportunities, identifying a central community gathering venue, and expanding recreational facilities. The overall vision is to balance economic vitality, neighborhood preservation, and a high quality of life for residents, while adapting to environmental challenges.
