Sergeant Bluff accepting public comments on comprehensive plan

SERGEANT BLUFF, Iowa (KCAU) — The City of Sergeant Bluff is currently working with SIMPCO to update its comprehensive plan and is now accepting public comments.

The comprehensive plan is a document that outlines a community’s goals and aspirations for a city’s future. It assesses a community’s current conditions and offers to address topics such as economic development, housing, transportation, land use, and community facilities and services.

Sergeant Bluff’s last comp plan was adopted in March 2012. It is available here .
