PLANNING & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT |
|
Norman residents will soon have the opportunity to voice their vision for the city’s future through a long-range planning initiative that began last week: AIM (Area & Infrastructure Master Plan) Norman.
Discussion regarding the creation of documents to guide cooperative strategies that will responsibly advance the Norman community began this summer and two public meetings have been coordinated. The Master Plan will shape the course of the community over the next two decades, crafted with the insight and engagement of residents, partner agencies, elected officials and City staff.
“Norman is a diverse and creative community,” said City Manager Darrel Pyle. “We encourage all residents to take part in this planning process and are looking forward to creative convenient opportunities to make that possible. As Norman continues to evolve, our goal is to create a blueprint for the future that represents and resonates with the entire community.”
