The Idea
COMMUNITY GENERATED IDEAS
This initial phase sets the foundation for Rapid City’s Comprehensive Plan update by hosting conversations with the community and inviting them to infuse their creativity into the beginning stages of the project.
Concept
VISION AND VALUES
Building on what we heard from the community in Phase One, Phase Two is about diving deeper into some opportunities and issues that the city is facing, and starting to define a vision for the future.
Storyboard
TRENDS AND OPPORTUNITIES
This stage is to learn about trends that are facing the City and what opportunities can arise to help Rapid City accomplish the goals of the community.
Promotion
GOALS AND LAND USE
This fourth phase will focus on locational opportunities and strategies, specific to neighborhoods and areas of the City. This phase looks at how land can be better used in the future, and how areas of the city can look and feel.
Screening
DRAFT PLAN
This stage will focus on drafting key elements in the Plan (e.g. chapter sections, the future land use map, implementation framework, etc.).
The Premiere
PLAN ADOPTION AND CELEBRATION
This final event will focus on celebrating the hard work that the community has put into this plan and the adoption process. There will be a final Open House that the public is welcome to attend!
