Comprehensive Plan
Adopted in 2011, the city's Comprehensive Plan is the community's guide for making land use decisions and is based on the community's values and vision for the future. The Comprehensive Plan sets the stage for other City plans including neighborhood or special district plans, capital improvement plans, street and transportation plans, and utility plans. In short, it is the central manuscript that coordinates and sets priorities for the City's current and future planning endeavors.

Current Long Range Planning Projects
6th Street Corridor Master Plan
Over the next two years, 6th Street is expected to change dramatically as a result of a multi-million dollar Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) project to demolish and realign the Grand Avenue-State Highway 82 Bridge over the Colorado River.
Beginning in January 2016 and continuing for the next 10-12 months, the city and key stakeholders, including area property owners, businesses and residents, will embark on a project to create a future vision for the corridor.
