A comprehensive plan reflecting the values and needs of New Ulm to guide development and growth over the next 20 years will be the focus of an Aug. 10 public workshop from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the middle school, 414 South Payne St.

Public input will be a key influence in developing the comprehensive plan that will include recommendations for land use, housing, business development, parks, transportation and downtown vitality.

At the workshop, the public will be able to learn more about the project, ask questions to the project team, and contribute their ideas and comments.
