Joint Online Recreation Survey
Joint Online Recreation Survey Conducted by the Village of Hillman and Hillman Township
The Northeast Michigan Council of Governments (NEMCOG) is assisting the Village of Hillman and Hillman Township with updating their Recreation Plan. The Village and Township are collaboratively developing a joint community recreation plan.
A Community Recreation Plan contains plans for all recreational facilities within these communities. Communities are required to have 5-Year DNR-approved Recreation Plans to qualify for grant funding from the Michigan DNR. Citizen input is critical to help draft the plan.
Here’s how you can help. The village and township have developed an online recreation survey to gather public opinions on recreation, and they hope to hear from everyone who uses recreational facilities in the area. If you would like to give your opinion on parks and recreation in the Hillman area to help them plan for future improvements, please take the online survey. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and is available online on the following websites: hillmanmichigan.org, hillmantownship.com, and discovernortheastmichigan.org/recreation.asp.

For those without internet access, you may pick up a printed survey at the Township or Village offices, or the Hillman Wright Library.
Township and Village officials are encouraging citizens in and around Hillman to fill out and submit this survey because public input is a vital component of the future of the area and the public’s opinion is highly valued.
