Thank you to everyone who participated. A vital part of the goal-setting process was a program of five focus groups, inviting members of Belle Plaine to discuss Downtown’s future in informal, round-table discussions. The focus group proceedings are integrated into all elements of this Downtown Plan.

A report of the planning process will be posted in the future. The major themes rising from the focus groups include:
Public and Private Partnership
Accessibility
Building Stock
Business Development and Redevelopment
Streetscape and Urban Design
Downtown as a Destination
