Consultation has concluded

Overview

In consultation with Routt County, the City of Steamboat Springs has drafted a new Community Plan. Based on community feedback over the past 18 months, Community Canvas will serve as a values-driven foundation that supports informed decisions that reinforce community values, outlines initiatives and actions that can be taken by the city and its local and regional partners, and organizes priorities outlined in other contemporary community-wide plans. Additionally, the new plan will provide the policy framework for regulatory tools like zoning and other policies and programs designed to address current and long-term needs identified during the community-driven process.
