Community Canvas Advisory Committee Seeks Members

The City of Steamboat Springs is looking for volunteers to serve on a newly formed committee discussing issues, advising on overall policy direction, and providing feedback to the Area Plan Coordinating Committee (APCC) throughout the process to create the city’s new Community Plan.

The Advisory Committee will be comprised of local residents that represent a variety of perspectives (long-time residents, new residents, business owners, seasonal workers, school-aged residents, etc.). This committee will generate and assess ideas, strategies, and actions to shape the next twenty years.

The new Community Plan, last created two decades ago, 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 – help us document the community’s shared vision for the future and identify the steps to get us there.

This group of 12-15 community members will meet four to six times throughout the rest of 2024. The purpose of this group is to act as a sounding board and to advise city and county decision makers as the plan vision, goals, policies, and recommendations are formed.

To apply, please send a letter of interest by email to Principal Planner Brad Calvert by Monday, July 15. Your letter should include why your perspective would be valuable to this Committee, your interest in the project, and your commitment to attending meetings and reviewing material between meetings.
