Long-Range Planning Projects

The Long-Range Planning group works on projects and plans that may take several years to fully implement, sometimes as many as 20 or 25 years. Long-range projects are often initiated by the City Council and include check-ins with the Council and Planning Commission as well as discussions with the public.
