Richmond Comprehensive Plan Update – Opportunity for Public Comment and Public Hearing Notice

 

The City of Richmond is updating its Comprehensive Plan since the last plan was adopted in 2006. Comprehensive Plans guide long-term community growth, land use, and development. Cities are encouraged to revisit these plans every 10 years, and Richmond’s update reflects nearly two decades of change and new community priorities.

Planning efforts began in 2023 with HKGi leading the project to update the plan and incorporating feedback from community surveys, public events like Music in the Park, and stakeholder meetings. Key updates include demographics, land use, and future growth strategies.

The Richmond Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing to review the plan and receive comments from the public, making a recommendation to Council. Public Hearing Details:

• Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 5:30 PM in Richmond City Hall Council Chambers, 45 Hall Ave SW, Richmond, MN 56368

Review and comment on the plan online at https://tinyurl.com/ehkap8d4 or in person at City Hall. Written or emailed comments submitted by noon on October 16 will be included in the meeting packet. Later comments will be shared with the Planning Commission at the hearing.

The City Council will consider adoption of the plan on November 20, 2025 following the Planning Commission public hearing. Your input matters help shape the City of Richmond’s future!
