	Livingston County Comprehensive Plan A comprehensive plan, also called a master plan, is a blueprint for the future. The plan looks at the current state of a unit of government, where it has been, and where it would like to go in the future. That unit of government, whether local, county, or regional, uses the plan to guide decisions affecting land use, such as infrastructure improvements or the preservation of open space, to name two of many.  Preparing a comprehensive plan is always a lengthy process requiring input and information from many people, groups, and sources.   To guide the coordinated, orderly, and well-balanced       development of the County that is a result of new growth,       and to advise the County’s twenty local units of government       of Countywide interests and goals.   Intended to assist local units of government in the preparation       of their own plans and ordinances by providing a broader       perspective and clearly stating the goals and policies of the       County. We use this Plan while reviewing local text and map changes,      and encourages the local units to do the same. Prepared by the Livingston County Planning Commission and the staff of the Livingston County Department of Planning. 2010 County Future Land Use Map
	Hazard Mitigation Plan Livingston County is vulnerable to multiple hazards including those caused by the natural environment, technology and humans.   The ability of a community to respond effectively       to hazards before they cause a disaster, depends largely       on actions or mitigation measures taken before a disaster       occurs.   Mitigative measures are actions of a long term, permanent        nature that reduce the actual or potential risk of loss of life       or property from a hazardous event.   This Hazard Mitigation Plan coordinates these actions       for all 20 local units of government in Livingston County
	Southeast Livingston Greenways The Southeast Livingston Greenways Plan represents the culmination of a two -year collaborative partnership in planning effort involving local government officials and hundreds of Livingston County residents working toward a common vision of the future.   The vision is for a system of protected open spaces and trails       that will connect people with each other and important places       and will help to preserve the natural systems and character       that makes our County special.   The Southeast Livingston Greenways Project provides the       opportunity to identify natural, cultural, and historical features       that are important to protect and to guide development around       these resources.
