November 2024 Update

Comprehensive Plan November Update

The Town of Buena Vista is updating its Comprehensive Town Plan, a policy document to guide the look and feel of the community over the next decade. For more information, visit the project website: BVBeVisionary.com

Updates and ways to stay involved!

Ongoing Research: The project team has been compiling research about existing conditions, covering everything from economic development to recreation to housing and water, and laying the factual foundation for the Comprehensive Plan. Each existing condition report is workshopped with the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, and the draft reports are available for public review on the project website: Draft Documents page. A portion of the reports have been finalized and others are still in draft form and will be posted once complete.

Public Comment Portal: A public comment portal is available on the project website, Get Involved page. This portal will be up throughout the life of the Comprehensive Plan Update and will be monitored regularly.

Recreation Survey: The Recreation, Trails, Facilities & Parks survey is live! This survey seeks to understand the community’s recreational needs, priorities, and willingness to pay for facilities and programming. This survey is open through December 15th and should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Respondents will be entered into an opportunity drawing for one of several prizes provided by local companies. For more information about the survey, visit https://www.buenavistarec.com/survey/. While not a part of the comprehensive plan itself, the comprehensive plan will draw on the findings of this survey as appropriate.

Future Comprehensive Plan Engagement: Following the completion of the existing conditions research in late 2024 - early 2025, a community survey and additional engagement opportunities will be launched to present potential plan recommendations and gauge community feedback. Stay tuned!
