Benton Community Visioning
Caltrans, Benton, California
MIG worked with the rural community of Benton, California to plan for long-term anticipated growth and related highway improvements. In contrast to many small communities that craft a community vision in response to an economic downturn or natural disaster, Benton proactively initiated this process after observing MIG’s work in the nearby Town of Chalfant. The resulting vision statement and guiding principles will be used by both Mono County and Caltrans to update Mono County's General Plan and inform Caltrans Transportation Corridor Report for Highway 6.
