  Acme Township is a master planned community. The Acme Township Master Plan was adopted by the Acme Township Planning Commission on May 27, 1999 and has been amended several times through the summer of 2007. An updated Acme Township Zoning Ordinance became effective December 1, 2008. Both documents change over time as the needs and desires of the community change.

In association with creation of the Master Plan, two community surveys were conducted:

Acme Township Community Attitude Survey - March 1996

Acme Township Visual Preference Survey - December 1996

The Planning Commission would like to announce that they are beginning their 5 year review of the Acme Township Master Plan. This document is to guide the township 20 years into the future in regards to commercial and residential growth, infrastructure, land preservation, land uses and more. It will also guide future changes to our zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission will have work sessions on the Master Plan before its regular monthly meetings, beginning at 7:00 p.m. The public is welcome to come to these work sessions to give input, as well as other work sessions that will be planned in the following months.  The next scheduled meeting is May 13th at 7:00 p.m.
