(are they adequate for current growth)
PREFACE
The City of Rexburg Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, City staff, and the general public have dedicated many hours to revising the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Rexburg.
Special thanks are extended to all those who continue to participate in the planning process.
A comprehensive plan is a living document.
This plan for the year 2020 updates the plan completed in 1997. With new growth and changing conditions a comprehensive plan should also change. It is never too late to get involved
in the process and ongoing planning participation by the citizens of the community is encouraged.
It is suggested that you check with City staff or the Planning and Zoning Commission to see what amendments are currently being contemplated and add your input to the suggestions for
possible inclusion in future updates of the plan
