2008 Comprehensive Plan

The Midwest City’s 1985 Comprehensive Plan has been undergoing an update The new 2008 Comprehensive Plan is now ready for adoption. Two public hearings are scheduled regarding the adoption of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. The first public hearing will be the June 3, 2008 Planning Commission meeting at 7:00 pm. The second public hearing will be the July 8, 2008 City Council meeting at 7:15 pm. Both meetings will be held at the City Council Chambers in City Hall at 100 N. Midwest Boulevard. Anyone wishing to express opposition or support or ask questions may do so at the public hearings.

The Comprehensive Plan is a long range plan that looks at growth and use of land uses, transportation systems, parks, economic development, housing and image as well as any other aspect that affects the livability of the city. The Comprehensive Plan is developed through research and analysis by city staff and planning consultants and through public input regarding the future vision of the city. You may view the both the 2008 Comprehensive Plan as well as the public notice by clicking below.

Public Notice                    2008 Comprehensive Plan

Topping Trees Information
Never cut main branches back to stubs.
The topping process is often self-defeating. Ugly, bushy, weakly attached limbs usually grow back higher than the original branches
Proper pruning can remove excessive growth without the problems topping creates. Arborists say that topping is the worst thing you can do for the health of a tree. It starves the tree by drastically reducing its food-making ability and makes the tree more susceptible to insects and disease.
Visit the National Arbor Day Foundation for more information at http://www.arborday.org
