Comprehensive Plan Update - Adopted 12.20.2023
Public outreach began immediately with a project website that provided surveys and a tool called Map.social where residents could identify points of interest or concerns on a map of the Town. Consultants met with Town department directors, and appointed and elected leadership in focused sessions to capture strengths, concerns and opportunities for the Town’s future. Information on the Plan was available to the public at the Town’s annual Beef N’ Bean Day. Visioning and business community workshops followed in October of 2022. In addition to a large presence on social media, flyers for the visioning and business community workshops were mailed to over 3,300 addresses in Milliken and an area of Weld County near the municipal boundaries of Milliken.
In November of 2023, a final public Open House was held with notices sent to each resident in their October utility bill as well as published in the Town’s newsletter, posted on the project and Town’s websites, and on the Town’s Facebook page. Drafts of the Plan were made available at the Town Hall and on the websites. The notice was also provided in Spanish with translators available at the Open House. Notice of the public Open House and links to the draft plan were also emailed to 42 stakeholders including adjacent jurisdictions and districts.
