Comprehensive Plan Update Progress: 90%

Last night, City Council decided to postpone consideration of the 2019 Comprehensive Plan until after the upcoming elections. However, the public and Council were able to give comments on the Plan thus far, and the project team will continue to take that feedback into consideration as the plan moves forward. A new date for a public hearing has not yet been scheduled, but this website will be updated regularly with the latest information.

Thank you to everyone that has participated in the planning process!
