Long-range planning seeks to develop a unified vision of a community’s future and then identify strategies to reach that vision. Long-range plans typically have a planning horizon of 25-50 years and an implementation or action plan for the first 10 years. While each community is unique, in the Unified Government, the Comprehensive Plan lays out the vision Citywide. In some cases, a comprehensive plan may cover Wyandotte County, as is the case for the goDotte Strategic Mobility Plan.
COMING SOON: 2023 cITYWIDE cOMPREHENSIVE pLAN
In 2023, the Department of Planning + Urban Design will launch the Citywide Comprehensive Plan, an update of the 2008 Citywide Master Plan. This plan occurs parallel to three other large planning efforts - the Citywide Historic Preservation Plan, Economic Development Strategy, and Housing Strategy. Each of these projects will serve as chapters of the 2023 Citywide Comprehensive Plan. Other topics covered in this plan include: food systems, sustainability, arts and culture, open space preservation and land use.
Do you have an important topic in mind for the Citywide Comprehensive Plan? Or would you like to host a community engagement session on one of these topics? Email Long Range Planner Alyssa Marcy at amarcy@wycokck.org with comments or questions.
