Welcome to the Home Page for the City of Wasilla Comprehensive Plan Update.
The City of Wasilla is updating its Comprehensive Plan, and has teamed with USKH to prepare this important document. A Comprehensive Plan guides Planning Commission and City Council decision-making related to capital improvements, land use, economic development and transportation.
An important part of this planning effort is a strategy and urban design for re-establishing downtown Wasilla as a town center. A downtown planning and design charrette was recently concluded, and the results have been received with enthusiasm.
The City of Wasilla offers attractive, livable residential neighborhoods, and great retail and industrial development opportunities, but faces numerous challenges. The City is experiencing unprecedented growth pressures and is recognized as one of America’s fastest growing communities. Thus, a focus of the plan is to develop strategies to relieve “growth pains” and establish future directions. Now is the time to act!
Project Scope:
The planning process includes:
- Public Involvement
- Community Survey
- Collect and Analyze Data
- Demographics
- Physical Characteristics
- Cultural Characteristics
- Transportation
- Land Use
- Economic Development
- Winter City Audit
- Develop Community Vision, Goals and Objectives
