Petersburg Master Plan 2019 Survey

Welcome to the Petersburg Master Plan 2019 Survey!

Petersburg is in the process of updating its community-wide Master Plan. A Master Plan sets a vision and guides the decision-making process for the future use of neighborhoods, the downtown, commercial corridors, parks and recreation offerings, and transportation in our City.

The Petersburg Master Plan 2019 will be rooted in the desires and vision of residents and stakeholders. This is why we need you to share your opinions and great ideas for the future of Petersburg. If you are completing a hard copy survey, please return it to the Petersburg City Hall mail slot by Thursday July 18th, 2019.

Thank you!
