The Park Rapids Planning Commission took a first look Monday at the city’s Comprehensive Plan, which is coming due for review, and reconsidered the priorities of its list of zoning ordinance projects.
In addition to their regular meeting, the commission also held a workshop to discuss these updates.
City Planner Andrew Mack said the current comprehensive plan was put together in 2008, so the city is 12 years into a 20 year plan, and updating it may be a 10-year process.
Priorities for improvement include Depot Park tennis courts, Deane and Kaywood park amenities, and Rice Park. 10:19 am, Jan. 19, 2021 ×
