"The New Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan"
The Town of Monument is wrapping up work on the Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update. What is a comprehensive plan? It’s a broad framework that guides the community’s growth over the next ten to fifteen years. The plan covers housing, economic development, stormwater management, and many other things, including a dedicated plan for our special downtown.
The project began in early 2025 and the Town’s staff, together with The Lakota Group and a large interdisciplinary team, worked with Monument’s residents, business owners, property owners, and regional partners. It started with initial public engagement over the summer of 2025 to learn about the visions, concerns, and issues confronting the community. Initial goals and strategies were presented that Fall based on what the planning team heard. The goals and strategies were refined through additional public input received over the winter. Once finalized, they became the core of the new Comprehensive Plan.
The new Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the accompanying Downtown Master Plan are now complete and available for viewing on the Town’s website here: https://www.townofmonument.org/395/Comprehensive-Plan---Monument-2040
The Town will be hosting an Open House on Wednesday, September 9, 12PM- 4PM at Town Hall to present the plans. The Planning Commission will review them at a public hearing that evening. You are invited to attend the Open House to learn more about the Monument 2040 Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Master Plan, as well as the Planning Commission’s discussion at 6:00 PM.
