The Bowling Green Community Action Plan (CAP) was developed between 2016 and 2018 to identify projects that will help improve quality of life for residents.
Goals for the CAP include generating a stronger owner-occupied housing market, attracting and retaining young professionals and families, improving existing properties and addressing lifestyle conflicts between homeowners and BGSU students.
