Public Meetings
Various meeting events will be scheduled you can attend. Dates will be posted on this website, and through ads in the paper, flyers posted on bulleting boards, and public announcements will air on the radio. Refreshments will be available at these events and we encourage you to come and share your ideas and concerns.
Planning Commission Meetings
The Wasilla Planning Commission is the city appointed board charged with preparing the Comprehensive Plan. Citizens may attend the regularly scheduled monthly meetings, hear project updates and provide comments.
Website
This website has been created just for the Comprehensive Plan. As time progresses, more and more content will be added to provide planning project information and another tool to engage the community.
The goal is to provide Comprehensive Plan information about upcoming Comprehensive Plan events, background information,
draft materials, public notices and links. This site is linked to the Planning Department of the City of
Wasilla website as well. It includes direct email links to the USKH team to enable citizens
to provide comments directly to the consultants.
Community Survey
A random, statistically valid telephone and mail-in survey was developed and implemented to identify and measure community attitudes on a variety of issues and topics. 352 valid surveys were completed. The survey results are available here.
Community Visioning Workshop/Charrette
The public meetings will be followed by charrette events, the USKH team will use various technologies to effectively communicate plan concepts to all participants. A total of two Community Visioning Workshops and Charrette sessions will be conducted to engage citizens in the planning process. These visioning sessions are designed to identify issues and opportunities, prioritization and achieving consensus.
The information gathered from these events and sessions will be processed, organized and eventually put into a new updated comprehensive plan.
Join us in making that important step forward in helping Wasilla grow to it's full potential, and become that great place we want it to be, for now and for the future, us and for our children.
Look for information about these events!
