An In-Depth Look At Northfield's Comprehensive Plan (replay)

The Northfield City Council is set to approve the Comprehensive Plan for the City on Tuesday evening. In February, KYMN recorded a special about the Comp Plan, reviewing it in-depth. With the plan up for final approval, we wanted to air that special again. While the plan has been slightly amended since then, the show remains a good place to learn about the overall plan and context. KYMN will be doing a follow-up interview about any changes made in the coming weeks. 

For the last 21 months, the City of Northfield has been drafting its Comprehensive Plan, the 20-year plan for the city. It informs the decisions on many issues, including growth, redevelopment, infrastructure plans, and so much more. The plan is set to be approved by the City Council in mid-March.

In order to help break down the Comp Plan, KYMN's Logan Wells talked with Northfield Planning Commission Chair Betsey Buckheit and Community Development Director Jake Reiley. They start on page 1 of the plan and walk their way through the plan, kind of like an audiobook of the comp plan.
