Joplin Insider program to focus on city planning processes

(From the City of Joplin)

In the next program of Joplin Insider, viewers will learn more about how the City of Joplin is developed through numerous city planning processes, along with collaboration with representatives from area organizations and agencies serving on the metropolitan planning organization (MPO).

Public Information Officer Lynn Onstot visits with Taylor Cunningham, Planner for the City of Joplin, to learn more about the planning methods and activities within a growing community. Taylor explains that the City’s strategic planning process includes the adoption of a comprehensive plan that is used as a guide for developing public policy and to help make decisions concerning growth, land development, and land use. This information serves as a critical resource for both commercial and residential development within a city.

The Planning division also provides a wide range of services and assistance to customers including the administration of several programs and codes that relate to the growth of the city. Some of these include the city’s zoning regulations, subdivision code, land development requirements, and economic development programs.
