<br />This fall the Metropolitan Council will be issuing its new system statements for the required 2016 comp plans to
<br />218-441-4000
<br />be completed by local jurisdictions in the seven-county area. Because there has been a relative lack of land use
<br />changes since the last plan was submitted (due to the recession), many metro communities believe there is a
<br />Bloomington
<br />limited need to devote time, energy and resources to their upcoming comprehensive planning process. The reality
<br />Doubletree by Hilton
<br />is that there are compelling issues confronting local governments as they plan for the next 30 years. This workshop
<br />7800 Normandale Blvd.
<br />is an excellent opportunity to gain a "big picture" perspective on the issues and how they interrelate plus practical
