Plan Ogden
Plan Ogden
Plan Ogden is a visionary policy document shaped by input from the community. It addresses various aspects of Ogden’s future, such as growth and economic development, organizing how land is used and developed, planning for important infrastructure and facilities, creating green spaces, and working with surrounding areas. The new Plan aims to make sure the policies and programs can handle the changes that come with growth, all while supporting the City's goals.

Phase 1 : Management and Outreach
This phase kicks off the Ogden General Plan update by hosting conversations with community members and setting the foundation for the whole project. This phase creates the context for what the community would like to see in the future and what they currently love about their community. There will be opportunities for engagement in-person and online.
Phase 2 : Plan Foundation
This phase will provide an overview of baseline conditions, data, and will also define how those conditions influence the development of the City through 2050.
Phase 3 : Visioning
Building on what we heard from the community in phases 1 and 2, this Phase is about the people of Ogden working together to define the vision and values of the Ogden community, and to consider alternative future scenarios in order to identify priorities and guiding principles for growth and change. A strong community vision for Ogden ensures that future policies and programs are shaped by and for the community.
Phase 4 : Draft Plan Development
This fourth phase will focus on presenting and reviewing key elements in the Draft Plan. This is the phase where you will see all the community feedback from the first three phases come to life. As with other outreach phases, participants will be able to join events in-person or online. Results from this phase will shape the Final Draft Plan.
Phase 5 : Plan Approval
This final series will focus on celebrating the hard work that the community has put into this plan and go through the adoption hearing process.
