Tecumseh has seen many changes since the last comprehensive plan was adopted in 1999 - the population has ebbed and flowed but the sense of community has remained constant. Tecumseh must continuously adapt to maintain and improve its quality of life and economy.  Many of the changes Tecumseh has seen have been positive: the ability to hold on to the small town charm that makes this a community, not just a city; enhancements and beautification efforts downtown; and a new life for Slick Humphrey Park. But other changes have posed more of a challenge: Tecumseh is a bedroom community that struggles to attract a diverse economic base to serve the needs of residents and visitors; housing does not meet the needs of all residents; access to a dependable water supply is a concern; and passers by are not aware that this is a special community with a great story to tell.

     The challenge before us now - in shaping the Tecumseh of 2030 - is to energetically leverage our strengths as we grow, while turning around the negatives.  The Tecumseh Tomorrow comprehensive plan provides the direction to do that.
