The Metropolitan Council has approved Edina’s 2018 Comprehensive Plan with some required edits. The revised Comprehensive Plan will be presented to the City Council Aug. 5, to be formally adopted.

In response to the Metropolitan Council’s requirements, changes were made in the Housing, Land Use, Transportation and Water Resources chapters. The comments and redlined chapters can be found at EdinaMN.gov/CompPlan or BetterTogetherEdina.org.
