2050 Comprehensive Plan Update

At Bolton & Menk, we believe great communities are built through thoughtful, long‑range community planning. Our Community and Area Planning team partners with cities, towns, and counties to guide growth in a way that reflects local values, responds to change, and prepares communities for the future. By combining technical expertise with meaningful public engagement, we help communities create plans that are clear, achievable, and rooted in local context.

A 2050 Comprehensive Plan establishes a shared vision and provides the framework communities need to make informed decisions for decades to come. Our integrated team of planners and engineers brings experience across every element of the comprehensive plan, including land use, transportation, housing, parks and natural resources, utilities, and community facilities. Because we work with communities daily to implement these plans, our approach is grounded in real‑world solutions, practical strategies, and long‑term thinking.

As communities look ahead, the recently adopted Imagine 2050 regional development guide is shaping how comprehensive plans are prepared across the Twin Cities metropolitan area. With community‑specific system statements issued in September 2025 and plan updates required by December 31, 2028, Bolton & Menk helps communities navigate regional expectations while staying focused on local priorities and lasting success.
