ABOUT
the Summerset Comprehensive Plan
A Comprehensive Plan or “Comp” Plan is a planning document that provides guidance for the future growth and development of a city. Based on community input, a comprehensive plan establishes a collective vision for the future of the community and sets goals and objectives to help achieve that vision.
In short, a Comprehensive Plan can be thought of as a “road map” or “to do list” that is used to help a community create a more desirable future and improve the quality of life for the people that live and work in the community.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
The purpose of adopting a Comprehensive Plan is to provide a firm foundation for policy and action that allows a community to function more efficiently and effectively, address community problems and issues, and promote a more certain future.
By updating its Comprehensive Plan, Summerset can base its future decision making to better reflect the needs and wants of the community and develop new programs, services, and regulations accordingly.
What does Comprehensive Planning Do?
Starting in early 2025, the City of Summerset will be working on updating its Comprehensive Plan. This process will take about one (1) year and include:
An analysis of past, current, and anticipated future conditions
Public input about the needs and desires of the community
Visioning and goal setting, as well as determining policies and strategies for achieving those goals
Careful consideration of City of Summerset’s future growth and development over the next 10 to 20 years
An integral part of the Comprehensive Plan update process is hearing community member's ideas about how to make City of Summerset a better place for the people who live, work, and do business here. A series of community meetings will be held, and a community survey will be developed to gather your input about the future of City of Summerset. This input will be used to help develop a series of Comprehensive Plan goals and policies, which will direct the growth of the community and bring a collective vision for the future of City of Summerset to life.
