FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Comp Plan Open House to be Held March 11
Edina, Minn., Feb. 19, 2019 – An open house for the City to share information about the draft Comprehensive
Plan and explain how residents can give feedback will be held 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, March 11, at the Public
Works & Park Maintenance Facility, 7450 Metro Blvd.
The current Comprehensive Plan is an update to the 2008 Plan. The Metropolitan Council requires every city in
the seven-county metro area to have such a plan and State law requires that it be updated every 10 years. Edina’s
update builds off of Vision Edina and has included the completion of several small area plans.
“As communities grow and evolve, the Comp Plan is necessary to guide development and redevelopment, as well
as other changes that may come along due to various market and social forces,” said Assistant City Planner Kris
Aaker about the process that started in 2017.
The Plan includes chapters on land use and community design; housing; transportation; parks, open space and
natural resources; water resources; energy and environment; economic competitiveness and economic
development; human rights and relations; community health; heritage preservation; and arts and culture. It also
includes a plan for implementation and appendixes on the small area plans.
For more information about the Open House, contact the Planning Division at 952-826-0369.
