Prior to submitting a Zoning Permit Application, Zoning Board of Appeals Application, or any other permit, prospective applicants are encouraged to meet with the Zoning Administrator for a conceptual review of the project. These meetings are free of charge and provide an opportunity for an informal consultant of the project with Village staff to identify any barriers and opportunities prior to applicants investing substantial time and resources into a formal site plan draft and review. To schedule a conceptual review meeting, please contact the Zoning Administrator at the Village, Debbie Powell.

Many documents (listed below) support the RRC Certification

Cass City understands that some projects may benefit the community and address master plan goals but not be finacially feasible without additional investment. To address those cases, the Village has adopted a formal economic development incentives policy which includes fee waivers and commercial/industrial abatements. For the full policy (including an application) see below. Cass City also works closely with the Tuscola County Economic Development Corporation and the Michigan Economic Development Corportation. Projects may be eligible for incentives through these entities as well. Cass City officials can help connect applicants with the right point of contact at these organizations.

Cass City maintains numerous plans to guide future growth while maintaining the things our residents and stakeholders love about the Village.
