About Imagine Owatonna

What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A Comprehensive Plan is a guidebook for the city looking 20 years into the future. It starts by defining a shared vision with the community then developing steps toward achieving that vision. The City of Owatonna anticipates the Comprehensive Planning process will continue through 2024 with opportunities to participate throughout.

In order to facilitate this process, The City has hired Stantec, who has completed dozens of Comprehensive Plans in Minnesota, in addition to numerous plans through out the Country. During this project you will see Phil Carlson, Lauren Walburg, and Jay Demma as our main contacts. They will be having conversations and facilitating events through out the next 12-18 months.
