What is a Comprehensive Plan? The Comprehensive plan sets the foundation for the 20-year vision for the City of River Falls. The Comprehensive Plan will guide the community's future physical, social, and economic development to ensure River Falls is a thriving, people-centered, and environment-conscious community.
Who is involved? The Comprehensive Plan is the community's document and will be created based on feedback received throughout this process. It will also incorporate the expertise of city staff in creating specific goals and implementation items.
How will the Comprehensive Plan be used? Based on feedback received and conversations held during this process, the plan created goals, action items and policies for our community. Over the next 20 years, this plan will be used as a guiding document to make decisions on investments, development, and future projects.
Why update all three plans together? The Community Development Department updated the Comprehensive Plan, Outdoor Recreation Plan and Bike & Pedestrian Plan simultaneously. These three plans were worked on at the same time because there is an overlap in the content and necessary community engagement needed for each plan to ensure that they all work well together.
