The Sturgis City Commission last week adopted the focus areas and goals for Sturgis 2022.
The two focus areas – A Great Place to Do Business and A Community of Choice – have nine total goals which cover many of the areas presented during our feedback process this summer.
Among those goals are declarations such as Sturgis will be: A leader in the region in creating quality jobs through business expansion and attraction; a premier community for entrepreneurs; the primary commerce center for the area and have a highly skilled workforce with a majority of citizens who have post-high school degrees or training.
As a community of choice, Sturgis will: Be a preferred place for families to raise their children; have one of the best street systems in Michigan; have a vibrant and active downtown that is the centerpiece of the community; be the desired location in the area for people seeking quality housing and neighborhoods; be an attractive community for retirees and seniors.
