Welcome

The City of Walsenburg is creating a new Comprehensive Plan to guide the City over the next two decades. This effort is developing a vision for Walsenburg and a roadmap for housing, transportation, parks and open space, infrastructure, and other topics.

Building upon the responses from nearly 500 community members to the initial community survey this spring, Community Survey #2 presents a series of concepts and ideas for you to consider, across a range of topics. Your input on this second survey will contribute to the development of the Draft Comprehensive Plan.
