As we enter the back half of Winter, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan continues to be my top priority.  It will set the priorities for all of Mendota Heights for the next twenty years, including potential development and what is favored.  Additionally, the extremely important nature of a comprehensive plan makes it a top priority to involve healthy input from the citizens of our city.  According the MET Council page linked above, "Once the Council completes the review process for a comprehensive plan or amendment, the local government can implement it through zoning ordinances, capital budgets for public improvements, and other actions."  This means that once the comprehensive plan is in place, it will be extraordinarily difficult to stop future development whether or not it fits within the character of Mendota Heights.

Currently, notices and updates concerning the development of the Mendota Heights 2040 comprehensive plan are not well distributed ahead of the crucial meetings that drive its direction.  You can find currently released information here on the city's website.  You can also see my News and Events page for current information on scheduled meetings.
