10 year Comprehensive Plan (2014-2024)- Help us Plan Cheney's FUTURE!

The City of Cheney is continuing their efforts to gain input from community residents regarding Cheney’s future. Community members are asked to complete a survey, which will be available in the August 1st Utility bills and can also be accessed on the City of Cheney’s website. The survey covers various issues regarding quality of life, city government, parks and recreation, and economic development.

 

The City held its first public engagement meeting on May 20th where City Council members, Planning Commission members, and community members shared their ideas on the topic of Cheney’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Input gathered from the meeting, as well as survey results and additional public engagement activities will be compiled and used to create goals and objectives for the city’s 10 year comprehensive plan.

 

Residents are encouraged to complete the survey by August 22, 2014. The survey can be accessed here or by turning the paper copy, located in their August 1st utility bill, into City Hall. Additional questions should be directed to Danielle Young, City Clerk at 316-542-3622 or dyoung@cheneyks.org
