Focus River Falls
Launched in 2021, Focus River Falls was an 18-month process to update three critical city planning documents: the Comprehensive Plan, Outdoor Recreation Plan, and Bike and Pedestrian Plan. City staff, in partnership with SRF Consulting, worked closely with community members to develop a shared vision for the City's future. On March 28, 2023, the City Council voted to adopt the three plans, which contain implementation actions that will guide the City's policy and financial decisions for the next 20 years.
