The NRI provided a foundation for developing the land use alternatives and plan policies. <br />Implementing the St. Cloud Area Joint Planning District Plan was one main focus of the comprehensive plan. <br />The planning effort also included developing master plans for several growth areas outside or recently annexed <br />by the City. DSU/ Bonestroo successfully brought together a diverse set of interests including residents, city <br />staff, and officials and representatives of surrounding townships to create a strong policy document. <br />Cost: $465,000 <br />City of St. Cloud - Comprehensive Plan and <br />Growth Area Master Plans <br />Reference: Matt Glaesman <br />City of St. Cloud, Planning Director <br />400 2nd Street North <br />St. Cloud, MN 56301 <br />(320) 255-7200 <br />FAX: (320) 255-7297 <br />We worked with Matt on the 2003 Comprehensive <br />Plan and Downtown Plan, which included master <br />planning of several growth areas. <br />9 <br />
