TURNING TO A NEW ERA OF
“INTERNALIZED” GROWTH
MANAGEMENT

As Northville Township’s growth era of recent decades
winds down, with smaller increments of new population
and less raw land available to convert to “developed”
uses, the focus turns instead to fostering high-quality
development on what land remains. Perhaps more
importantly, the Township must carefully scrutinize
proposed infill and redevelopment projects that can
impact the community’s infrastructure and public
services, and to ensure they contribute to the Township’s
established character. In essence, more of the Township’s
attention will be on managing what already exists, aiming
to maintain the integrity of existing neighborhoods and
commercial areas while pursuing strategies to improve
those areas not reflective of the high standard of
development achieved across the Township.
