Download the Saugatuck Transit-Oriented Design Master Plan below:

The mission of the Saugatuck Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Master Plan Steering Committee (“Saugatuck Steering Committee” or “SSC”) was to assist the town in selecting a planning consultant and to provide assistance and guidance to the selected consultants in conducting a planning process which will result in a Master Plan for the Saugatuck area. The Master Plan sought to promote a future Saugatuck Center which is vital, livable, safer for pedestrians offering diverse entertainment, dining, recreational, residential and business opportunities and at the same time respects Saugatuck’s small town character and historical heritage. The plan will also seek to guide future residential development so that additional vehicles are not added to the Saugatuck Centre and that infrastructure is improved to better facilitate traffic flow and parking, and to reduce congestion.

Members of the SSC were appointed by and served at the pleasure of the First Selectman for terms co-terminus with the completion of the project. Members included town planning staff, appropriate town department heads, elected officials, representatives from the Saugatuck business community, the Historical Society, the Downtown Plan Implementation Committee, and residents of Saugatuck at large. The Co-Chairs of the SSC were Mary Young, Director of Planning and Zoning and Craig Schiavone, a private independent Town Planner. The Co-Chairs reported directly to the First Selectman.
