• Comprehensive Plan Update
Project website updated to include status and current draft (https://www.bolton-
menk.com/clients/scandia/index.html)
We received a letter of incompleteness from the Metropolitan Council on January
17, 2019. This letter was not unexpected. According to the Met Council, none of the
80+ plans submitted to date have been complete.
We are working on compiling the items needed and will resubmit as soon as
possible. Our goal is to be able to resubmit by February 22nd.
Once the plan has been determined to be complete, it will proceed through the Met
Council committee process. The status of the plan can be tracked on the Scandia
Community Page on the Met Council website at
