The City of Troy is a regional center for employment, world class shopping, sports and entertainment, and a high quality of life. Troy is a community of strong residential neighborhoods and exemplary schools. Second only to Detroit in the State of Michigan in terms of total property value, and one of the largest cities in the State in terms of population, Troy’s complexity demanded that the development of the Master Plan explore a very wide variety of topics based around an all new approach.

To accomplish this, Carlisle/Wortman Associates employed a new tool, the Smart Growth Readiness Assessment, to gain public input, and used existing relationships with many key stakeholders in the City to build a strong foundation of community input. The Master Plan itself is organized around important topics the City is facing, rather than simply on the conventional template used in years past. Using a topic-based approach, the City has been able to analyze in great detail those issues most crucial to the City’s continued success.
