• The city will look to connect Highway 610 to CSAH 30 in the future to increase freight mobility in the northwest metropolitan area. Osseo 2040 Comprehensive Plan (2018) Look Back The City of Osseo had a population of 2,717 in 2016 among 1,284 households and 1,805 jobs. This is a small community that is mostly built out and surrounded by much larger communities. TH 169 borders the community on the east and CSAH 81 borders on the west. Redevelopment will likely occur in locations that are underutilized, mismatched with surrounding uses. Some locations have been identified along Highway 81. TH 169 is approaching traffic capacity and exhibits congestion during peak hours. Look to Future 2040 projections show 3,170 in population among 1,500 households and 2,300 jobs. Some redevelopment is planned to add high density residential in the northeast part of the city. Progress The construction of TH 610 was anticipated to handle some of the traffic from CSAH 81 through Osseo as well as accommodate additional trips based on population growth. This roadway was constructed in 2009. Key Takeaways • Osseo is a small city but does anticipate some growth in population, housing, and employment. • The city is anticipates adding high density residential in the northeast. Otsego Comprehensive Plan (2012) Look Back Otsego had 13,571 residents living among 4,736 households in 2010. This represents a more than doubling of both population and number of households in the community since 2000. Growth management is a goal for the community including policies for prioritizing development around utility and transportation infrastructure. The City is largely undeveloped and contains significant agricultural resources. Previous plans prioritized maintaining agriculture as a primary use of the city's land, however, the latest comprehensive plan states that this is no longer a priority and the city is preparing for urbanization. Look to Future Otsego anticipates more rapid growth. Population and households are anticipated to rise to 28,000 and 10,000 respectively by 2030. The city anticipates major commercial, industrial, and medium to high - density residential growth flanking TH 101 as depicted in the Future Land Use map. The Plan recommends many improvements to Highway 101 to be completed in the short term including several interchanges at major intersections of Highways 42, 37, 36, and 8.
