Metro Council Adopts Development Plan

ST. PAUL-Efficiency, flexibility and cooperation are all at the heart of the 2030 Regional Development Framework.

By Jim McCartney | Updated on January 27, 2004

ST. PAUL-Efficiency, flexibility and cooperation are at the heart of the 2030 Regional Development Framework that has been recently adopted by the Metropolitan Council, a state-planning agency. The 17-member council, appointed last year by Gov. Tim Pawlenty, spent the first year reviewing, discussing and taking public comment on the policy document. It represents the “views and priorities” of Pawlenty’s administration, Metro Council officials say.

The framework is the council’s overall strategy for accommodating projected growth of nearly one million more people in the region by 2030, in cooperation with communities, builders, environmentalists and others. The council’s strategies are organized around four policies: agrowth in a flexible, connected and efficient manner; slow the growth in traffic congestion and improve mobility; encourage housing choices; and conserve, protect and enhance the region’s vital natural resources. The regional framework, maps and appendices are available on the council’s Web site at www.metrocouncil.org.
