Crosslake Comprehensive Plan
Crosslake EDA is in the process of updating various chapters in the Comprehensive Plan. EDA strongly believes that a blueprint is necessary for building a sound foundation for the community. In May of 2018, the city approved the re-write of the Plan and now it is time for a review and update. Currently, chapters in process are Environment, Economic Vitality and Park and Recreation. Updates will be added to the Crosslake City Website under Planning and Zoning. Refer to Comp Plan update in this section of the EDA website for additional information as it becomes available.
