Concept Refinement

The Design Team is refining illustrations and concepts to submit to City Hall and the Detroit Lakes Development Authority. Designs are anticipated to be submitted by mid-July. Meanwhile, planners are preparing narrative for the final document, summarizing sections of the plan that have been previously presented to the DLDA, including the Market Analysis, Existing Conditions and Public Participation Process. A complete draft of the plan is anticipated by mid-August.

If you have any questions or comments about the plan, please contact Larry Remmen, Community Development Director at 218-847-5658.
