The Grass Lake Joint Recreation Committee is currently updating the existing Grass Lake Area Recreation Plan to cover the years 2025-2029. The updated Grass Lake Recreation Plan will make the community eligible for Michigan Department of Natural Resources grant funding for implementation of goals identified in the Recreation Plan. The following survey solicits your input to help shape the goals and action items that will form the basis of the updated recreation plan. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey to help us improve our community's recreation assets. Survey responses will be collected until August 15, 2024.
