Public input sought for ‘East Columbia Area Plan’ 
								
	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The city of Columbia and Boone County planning
and zoning commissions will host the second in a series of public
information meetings regarding the East Columbia Area Plan (ECAP) Feb.
23 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in the Columbia Benevolent Organization’s
meeting hall located inside the Elk’s Lodge, 4747 Elk Park Drive East
(east of Cedar Grove Elementary School off State Route WW). The purpose
is to present draft findings related to the infrastructure and
environmental conditions of the study area as well as obtain community
feedback on desired goals and objectives intended to guide growth on the
lands generally bounded by I-70, US 63, New Haven Road and Rangeline
Road in eastern Boone County. 
Preparing plans ahead of development and engaging the public is the
purpose of this joint effort. The planning commissions invite all
affected or interested residents to participate.	
The program schedule is as follows: 	
5:30 - 5:45 p.m., Open Q&A  
5:45- 7 p.m., Presentation
7 - 7:30 p.m., Q&A 	
	Participants in this second informational meeting will be asked
to comment on draft findings related to the study area’s
infrastructure and environmental conditions. These comments will assist
the joint commissions in further developing the plan in a manner that
best captures the values or ideas considered most important by area
residents. Future meetings will be held to provide residents the
opportunity to see the progression of the planning process. Prior to
final plan adoption by City Council and the County Commission, a public
hearing will be held offering residents yet another opportunity to
comment on the plan.
	 Draft copies of the Infrastructure and Environment chapters
will be available for advance public review after Feb. 16 online at
www.gocolumbiamo.com/Planning/EastColumbiaAreaPlan_ECAP.php or at the
city or county planning department offices.
