This show was recorded on February 26th, 2025. The final draft of the Comp Plan has been slightly adjusted since then. However, much of the content has remained the same and is a good place for you to learn about the context and polices in the plan.
For the last 19 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 Reilly. They start on page 1 of the plan and walk their way through the plan, kind of like an audiobook of the comp plan.
