Yes, the Board of Aldermen included funds in fiscal year 2023 budget for consulting services to help guide the city through the process of developing a new comprehensive plan. The last citywide planning effort of this type was completed in 1975. The comprehensive plan will touch on many aspects of the community to develop a vision for 20 years from now. The plan will focus on land use and development with aspects of transportation, sustainability, economic development, and equity planning. On December 14th, 2022, the city issued a request for proposals for comprehensive planning services. Submittals were received by staff on February 1st, 2023 and reviewed by a selection committee comprised of representatives from the plan commission, the city manager, director of economic development, director of public works and members of the planning and development services department. Interviews were held at the end of February. The selection committee completed evaluations and met to discuss the submittals and interviews. The insight questions and feedback from the resident members were very helpful, and we would like to thank them for volunteering their time to assist with this process.
