Alma Waterfront Brownfield Redevelopment Plan
Wade Trim prepared environmental assessments and redevelopment
plans for an 11-acre waterfront site located at the edge of
Alma’s central business district along the Pine River.
The site will be redeveloped to an attractive waterfront
that can provide investment opportunities for recreation,
commercial office and housing developments. Wade Trim’s
design connects Main Street to a new riverfront promenade
through the extension of existing downtown streets, providing continuous
public access at the water’s edge.
The master planning and remediation plans for developing the site were accomplished
in a planning framework of public participation meetings that
included business leaders, private institutions, and the general public. The Master Plan
received a Merit Award from the Michigan Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Durand Master Plan Update
Wade Trim helped the City of Durand, Michigan, with a comprehensive program to update the City’s
existing Master Plan. The City wanted a Plan developed to attract new growth and development
while preserving the City’s unique heritage and small town character. Citizen
involvement was encouraged by a series of community visioning sessions, workshops, and
a project Web site. Through public involvement, a Future Land Use Map was created to guide
the City in future land development projects. The Master Plan also included the designation
of a new regional commercial area near the Interstate 69 freeway interchange. The purpose of
the sub-area study was to create a regional commercial district that is both consistent
with the existing character of the City and complimentary to the City’s Downtown.

Northeast Village Neighborhood Development and Revitalization Plan
Partnering with a Flint Neighborhood Citizen's District Council (CDC), Wade Trim
created a Neighborhood Development and Revitalization Plan in a diverse urban
neighborhood. This plan provided community analysis, goals and objectives, implementation
strategies, and substantial support data that will empower the CDC to pinpoint
and prioritize community development projects. Through
a partnership between the project team and community residents, the neighborhood plan
details a plan of action with supporting documentation to channel the CDC's efforts and help
transform this modern urban community.

Summerfield Township Master Plan Update
Several major nearby developments that could impact the growth of Summerfield
Township prompted the need for a new Master Plan that would allow for growth
opportunities, but would predominately protect the Township's agrarian culture.
Several community workshops and meetings were held to integrate resident input.
This process provided the Township with a Master Plan that was not only supported
by the community, but also easily implemented.

increasing growth, while maintaining the rural character of the community. A new
Zoning Ordinance was also created to implement the Master Plan recommended overlay
zones and mixed use zoning districts as well as combining some obsolete residential
districts and creating an additional lakeshore zone.
