Argyle Town Council authorized a professional services agreement with town engineering firm Freese and Nichols to update the plan during its Nov. 7 meeting. The town is set to pay no more than $138,185 for the project.
The plan was last updated in 2018, according to the agenda item, and the upcoming update will “better reflect where the town of Argyle is today.”
Some of the focuses of the coming update will include economic development in the town’s commercial corridors and replacing form-based code in the land use plan.
The town is aiming to begin the process with a visioning meeting and community meeting in December. Mayor Bryan Livingston also added he wanted to see more opportunities for community engagement throughout the process.
“I think we need to follow up on the idea of doing citizen surveys and being more proactive as opposed to relying on people to come in here and attend the meetings,” Livingston said.
Work on the update is expected to finish in July 2023, according to the agenda item.
