We don’t get many chances to shape the future of our hometown. Throughout 2023, Hermantown residents will have that opportunity. City staff, elected officials, resident groups, and a trusted external firm, HKGI, have partnered together to build Hermantown’s next Comprehensive Plan. But now, we also need the input of as many residents, families, and businesses as possible.

Hermantown is your hometown. What should it look like in 2040?

LET’S GET TO WORK

We need to hear from you! The links below provide an interactive map that allows you to provide location-based feedback throughout Hermantown. After you’ve added your thoughts to the map, be sure to click on the survey option on the left side of the screen to complete that portion as well.

My Hometown – The Data

The growth of Hermantown has been strong for years, but will it continue? We’ve come a long way from the pioneering families who populated our Jackson Project Homes, but what should new families joining Hermantown expect? We’ve always been a business-friendly community, but what does that look like going forward?

A TRUSTED PARTNER

HKGI was hired to help lead Hermantown in designing its next Comprehensive Plan. Not only do they have an incredible reputation for this type of work, but they’ve also got strong connections to Hermantown – as they helped us map out both the Hermantown Marketplace and the initial ideas for the city-wide trail system.
