A “Build Your City” Open House hosted by the City of LaCygne was held at the District 2 LaCygne Library on Wednesday, April 12. The event was held in connection with the development of a long-range Comprehensive Plan to guide the city’s future growth and economic development.
Various stations set up for the public included exhibits on Master Planning, Taxes, Revenue and Expenses, Utilities, and the City Court. Other topics covered were street projects, storm water planning, housing improvements, parks and recreation, community facilities and the Police and Fire Departments.

IBTS is a national nonprofit organization which advises and partners with local governments on various aspects of community planning.
