The Comprehensive Plan establishes a long-range vision for the City, defines community goals and objectives, and provides guidance for implementing programs and policies for City’s future growth. Citizen participation is vital to developing the Comprehensive Plan. Local insights are obtained from the Neighborhood Workshops, which focus on both city-wide issues as well as issues specific to each individual sub-area.
This is the second in a series of community outreach events planned to involve residents, businesses, and property owners. Summaries of the workshops will be posted to the Project’s website; a hard copy also will be available at City Hall.
More chances to participate will be announced as the planning process progresses, including a Community Charrette and Visioning Session. In addition to these meetings, residents can offer their opinions regarding community assets, concerns and opportunities through the interactive Community Mapper tool on the Comprehensive Plan Project website.
