Welcome to the Taylors Falls Downtown Winter Workshops. This page will be updated from the initial CAP project to the Downtown Revitalization focus in the coming weeks. Check back soon.

What is a Community Action Plan (CAP)?

Every 10 years the municipality is required to update its Comprehensive Plan involving all aspects of the community’s collective future.  The municipal staff and elected officials have chosen to have an extensive public input process known as the Community Action Plan or CAP. This public engagement process is facilitated by Todd Streeter, Principal, Community Collaboration.

We Need Your Participation

The public engagement process seeks residents, businesses, commercial property owners, and community organizations to participate on the CAP Committee to help generate purposeful ideas, solutions, and new opportunities for the benefit and well-being of Taylors Falls for the next 10-15 years.

Select a Subcommittee Based on Your Interest

The CAP Committee may have up to 5 subcommittees reflecting the major components of the city’s Comprehensive Plan. Click on the list of subcommittees to learn more about their area of focus.

You can join at anytime throughout the project

• Community Connectivity   (Transportation and Infrastructure)

• Community Pride   (Public Facilities, Safety and Services)

• Creating Community   (Land Use and Housing)

• Downtown Revitalization   (Economic Development)

• Quality of Life   (Parks, Trails and Recreation)

Attend the CAP Community Presentation!

The city and CAP committee members encourage the community to attend the CAP | Comp Plan Community Presentation to learn about the work, concepts and recommendations the committee has created to help shape the future of Taylors Falls. Please download provided flyer.

Presentations from five subcommittees will offer recommendations that may be positioned as projects citizens can help in their continued development and eventual implementation. Attend the presentation and learn how your interests, knowledge and talents will contribute to the long-term success of Taylors Falls. Interested individuals can sign-up to participate and support ongoing CAP project activities.
