City of Sandy Comprehensive Plan Update:  Throughout the month of May, we’ll be having community conversations with multiple stakeholder groups in the community. These groups include the chamber of commerce, the economic development advisory board, staff at the Community Action Center, and the library advisory board, among others. We’ll continue facilitating these conversations through the summer. We’ll also be doing extensive engagement this month with about 350 seniors at Sandy High School. We just finished a review of the background reports that analyze the existing conditions of the City across multiple topics. These reports will give us the baseline to work from when developing goals and policies for the comprehensive plan.
