Comprehensive Plan Taking Shape but Public Input Remains Critical
The City of Olathe’s Comprehensive Plan is an essential tool that helps determine how the city will grow, develop and redevelop. It provides a critical road map for City investments and planning and literally shapes the community’s future.
Since last year, the City has been undertaking a major effort to update the plan, and public involvement continues to be critical. A preliminary draft of the updated plan will be presented for public comment at two open houses scheduled for Wednesday, March 10th and Thursday, March 11th. These comments are an important part of the process to ensure the City is “getting it right.”
Both events are being held at Olathe City Hall, 100 E. Santa Fe, from 5:45 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. They will begin with a presentation and overview of the draft plan at 6:00 p.m. followed by a session of questions.
In addition to the open houses, the presentation will be broadcast on the Olathe Government Television Network (OGTN). Aditional information and opportunities to provide input are available online as well at www.planolathe.com.
