Draft Comprehensive Plan Now Available for Input!

​

KINDRED, North Dakota – The City of Kindred is excited to announce the launch of the draft Comprehensive and Transportation Plan to the public. This plan will guide the city's growth and development over the next 25 years, aligning future land use, transportation, and policy decisions with the community’s shared vision of a kind, vibrant, and thriving community.

During the first phase of this project (August – December 2024), residents were engaged through two community pop-ups, a small student focus group, and a public survey. These efforts gathered valuable insights to ensure the plan reflects the priorities and aspirations of Kindred’s residents. Thanks to those who participated in phase one, the city interacted with nearly 270 people!

Key insights from phase one include:

• Single-family and senior housing are the top priorities for future housing development.

• There is an overwhelming desire for more local businesses and restaurants in downtown Kindred.

• Community members of all ages love Kindred parks – preservation of green space is a community priority.

• Bicycle and pedestrian connections, safety, and economic vitality are the top transportation system goals of the community.

A full summary of phase one engagement can be found on the project website.

We need your feedback! Review and comment on the draft plan by May 23 by visiting the project website. You may also offer your feedback in person at Kindred City Hall (31 5th Ave N).
