The City of Alexander Planning Commission needs volunteers to staff an advisory group. The Citizen Advisory Group, working with the planning commission, will take part in writing a new Comprehensive Master Development Plan based on their interpretation of survey results and public outreach. The current plan dates back to 1982.
Metroplan, working with members of the Alexander Planning Commission, will compose a public survey. The survey will determine how residents perceive the city’s current and future growth needs.
The Advisory Group will take part in both meetings with the Planning Commission and public hearings with city residents. Advisory Group members are expected to provide input for the Master Plan based on not only their own experiences, but discussions with residents as well.
According to Metroplan the makeup of the advisory group should, “Aim for diversity in age, sex, race, and ethnicity.”
Planning Commission Chairman Michael Huck says, “Providing that information when submitting an application to join the Advisory Group will allow the planning commission to insure a wide mix of city residents.”
Anyone who wishes to volunteer for the Citizen Advisory Group should contact either the mayor or planning commission chairman. Mayor Paul Mitchell’s email address is mayor@cityofalexander.com. You can contact Planning Commission Chairman Michael Huck at pcchair@cityofalexander.com. Or, you can mail in an application to join the group by sending it to, Mayor Paul Mitchell, PO Box 610, Alexander, Ar. 72002.
According to Metroplan’s proposed schedule, the Master Development Plan should be completed in February, 2022.
