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.

Olympian Hall, 4-6pm for Drop-In; 6-7pm for Roundtable Discussions

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-May 28, 2024-The door is being swung wide open to share what’s on your mind during an open house on Wednesday, June 5, on the new Steamboat Springs Community Plan. It’s been two decades since the current plan was created, so we’re looking for fresh ideas and perspectives to shape the next twenty years.

“This is the first in a number of opportunities community members will have to share their thoughts, concerns and ideas as we develop a new community plan,” said Principal Planner Brad Calvert. “This plan touches a variety of aspects of importance to many in the community and we really want to hear from as many people as possible so that the plan we come up with is tailored to the needs and values of our entire community.”

The June 5 event provides drop-in hours from 4pm to 6pm, followed by roundtable discussions from 6pm to 7pm at Howelsen Hill’s Olympian Hall (845 Howelsen Parkway).

The open house is a first chance to share input and craft a vision of the future of the Steamboat Springs community.

The conversation will touch upon housing, land use, transportation, economic development, recreation, health & human services, sustainability, and natural resources to name a few.

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 – help us start the conversation about the future today.
