On November 3, 2026, City of Traverse City voters will be asked to consider Proposal 1: Infrastructure First TIF Plan.
As a public body, the City has a responsibility to remain neutral in an election and to ensure that information provided is factual. Michigan law allows public bodies to produce and share factual information about matters relevant to their functions, while maintaining strict neutrality in elections. The City's role is not to persuade or dissuade voters, but to provide clear, accurate information so residents can understand the proposal and make their own informed decision.
With that responsibility in mind, the City has developed a webpage as a resource.
