Plan Springdale: Building Our Future Together
The Mayor and City Council, in partnership with department staff, are excited to begin the process of creating a new Comprehensive Plan for the City of Springdale. Together with professionals from McBride Dale Clarion, we will work to lay out future vision, goals, and priorities to ensure the City continues to provide a high level of service to its residents and businesses; manage new development and redevelopment efforts; and provide the parks, recreation and community center amenities our residents tell us they would like to have.
While the final plan will primarily be used by City Council, Planning Commission and City staff, to aide in the decision-making process regarding land use and infrastructure improvements, it is important to us that the plan is rooted in the community. For that reason, the 2021 planning process will include numerous opportunities for residents, employers, and other valued stakeholders to participate in development of the plan’s goals, objectives, and specific project strategies. It is anticipated that the planning process will be complete by December 2021.
This project website is intended to be your one-stop-shop to learn about the planning and visioning process and to discover ways you can get involved.
Take a few moments to offer your feedback right now! And come back often, as there is much that we have yet to discover.
We hope that you share in our excitement and find numerous ways to stay engaged as we build the future of Springdale together!
