Adorned with tall trees, and set among fields of soybeans, sugar beets, and a sea of corn, Olivia is a community of 2,400 residents located about two hours west of the Twin Cities on Highway 212.
Due to changing circumstances, including changes in local employment, completion of long-awaited investments, and a desire to develop a new vision for the City's future, Olivia embarked on an effort to develop a new Comprehensive Plan.
CDG led a team of consultants and worked with an active an engaged group of citizens, elected officials, and City staff to develop the City's new plan. The plan communicates the City's and its residents' ideas and vision and provides a robust set of recommendations for how to achieve them.
The plan was officially adopted in April of 2024 and is being actively used by the City in its day-to-day and long-term decision-making.
