Space Plan Process

Throughout the summer of 2006 Washtenaw County has undertaken a space planning project at the direction of the Board of Commissioners.  The outcome of this project is to identify the overall facility needs for the County over the course of the next twenty years. 

The final Strategic Space Plan developed as a result of this initiative reflects the findings of several data gathering processes, including:

• Compliation of serveral facility planning projects
• • Needs Assessment Study Report for The Corrections Facility & District Court
     
• Facility needs assessment analysis
• • Facilities Space Program Efficiency Analysis
     
• Public engagement with key stakeholder groups, including other local units of government, the for-profit sector and the not-for-profit sector
• • Community Engagement Report
     
• Assessment of current County facilities and their value 
• • Building Inventory & Space Review
     
• Review of demographics and population information
   
• Strategicplanning by various departments within Washtenaw County
• • Comprehensive Plan for Washtenaw County (Dept. of Planning & Environment)
  • Administrator's Recommendation on Public Safety & Justice
