TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — A Michigan county that’s a popular tourist destination is losing its planning commission after local officials decided the group wasn’t needed. The Grand Traverse County Board of Commissioners voted recently to abolish the county’s planning commission as of Nov. 1. The move follows the board’s study of what county planning services were needed, the Traverse City Record-Eagle reported . Grand Traverse County, including Traverse City, is a popular destination for tourists in Michigan’s northwestern Lower Peninsula. “Generally, the townships and entities that we partner with are not feeling the loss of the county planning department,” she said.
