Does the City’s vision for Ivins’ future match yours? The City Council has been working on an update to our General Plan since February.
The General Plan is the City’s primary guiding document, outlining Ivins’ past, present, and future. It is meant to reflect our collective vision, values, and goals. It’s crucial to get this right, so your input is vital.
Please review the plan and email me and the rest of the City Council with your suggestions.
Don’t let its 65 pages scare you away. Granted, this is the type of book that is the opposite of a riveting novel. Once you put it down, you just can’t pick it up again. But it’s easy to digest if you pick what you care most about. There are 20 chapters, mostly two or three pages each. If you don’t want to review the whole plan, focus on the chapters that mean the most to you and comment on those.
This is still a draft. At last Thursday’s City Council meeting we made some revisions to chapters 10 and 19. But the “meat” of those chapters is in this draft plan. We are going to make more revisions, adding information about obstacles, rearranging and maybe rewording some of the policies and action steps, and hopefully we’ll fix all the typos. Your suggestions will help.
There will be a public hearing soon. Not sure of the date yet. So, you will also have an opportunity to make recommendations at the public hearing. But I would still like to get your ideas sooner.
