The City Council will soon lead efforts to update the Olathe Strategic Plan. With community input, the plan will provide direction for Olathe’s path over the next 20 years.

The Olathe City Council will plan for continued growth and evolution of the community over the next two decades based on emerging trends such as population, demographics, economics, and environmental factors. The goal is to prepare for what the future may hold so that Olathe can be best positioned for success.

In preparation for the Strategic Plan process, the Olathe City Council would like you to consider these questions:

•  What trends are you observing that you feel the City needs to pay attention to so Olathe will continue to be a great place to live for future generations?

• What external disruptions (positive or negative) on a local, regional, national, or global scale could change or improve our community?

Please visit OlatheKS.org/PublicEngagement to share your thoughts and ideas. The forum will be open until Monday, Feb. 26.
