Public Facilities and Services
This chapter of the Comprehensive Plan focuses on maintaining and expanding infrastructure, facilities, and services. It is based on the following feedback received during the plan development process:
- A six-year capital improvement plan that aligns with the City’s budget and the Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies.
- Estimated costs and proposed methods of financing.
- Questions about whether infrastructure, facilities, and services can keep pace with growth.
- Desire for repairs and updates to community centers, streets, sidewalks, stormwater systems, and parks.
- Desire for facilities and services to account for climate change, seasonal conditions, and emergency preparedness.
Below are the key goals that support the vision for this chapter:
