The City of Marshalltown is updating its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is an important tool that provides guidance to community leaders and decision-makers for sound and efficient community growth and public investment.
A Comprehensive Plan establishes a vision for the City and helps guide policies, priorities, and the City’s capital improvement budget. Common elements addressed in a Comprehensive Plan include:
- Housing
- Infrastructure & Public Facilities
- Transportation & Mobility
- Parks & Open Spaces
- Land Use & Development
- Economic Development
- Social & Civic Health
Your input is needed! Resident and stakeholder involvement is the cornerstone of Reimagine Marshalltown. A successful plan is developed not just with the elected and appointed officials of the city who adopt it, but with the entire community who will help draft it and want to see it followed and maintained.
