Participation in the Planning Process

If you are wondering how you can participate in the “Our Town” Planning process, you can:

Attend Public Meetings and provide input at Public Hearings*. Keep an eye on Basalt Town Council agendas for upcoming Our Town Planning discussions.
Familiarize yourself with the concepts behind the Our Town Planning process on this website. The Basalt Chamber of Commerce also provides updates regarding the OTP process via its e-newsletter. Sign up for that at info@basaltchamber.com
Attend Planning and Zoning Commission meetings to follow the nuts and bolts of zoning implementation. Find P&Z agendas and packet materials by scrolling down to the bottom of the Planning Department page of the Town’s website.
Follow along with the Parks, Open Space and Trails (POST) Committee as it works on park plans and upgrades.
Stay tuned to the Basalt Affordable Community Housing Commission as it tackles this complicated issue.
