We Appreciate Your Involvement and Input

The City of Ridgeland and Moore Planning Group, LLC would like to thank the many individuals who took time from their busy lives to participate in the open and roundtable meetings that directly informed the newly ratified Vision and Goals for the Ridgeland Area Master Plan (RAMP). Your insights and opinions were indispensable in our ability to identify and prioritize both imminent and long range improvement initiatives for the City. Your enthusiastic and focused contributions are representative of a citizenry who truly cares about the future of this community.

Furthermore, we were pleased by the noteworthy input we gathered via our online survey and wish to commend those individuals who participated online for their involvement as well. This use of this technology proved most beneficial to the process and enabled us to collect the perspectives of residents who might not have been as forthcoming in an open forum or who were simply unable to attend the public meetings.

With the Vision and Goals development phase of the Master Plan complete, the opportunities for citizens to actively participate in the process have past; however, we encourage you to continue to visit this site in order to remain abreast of the Master Plan’s progress.

Ridgeland's Vital Statistics
The following series of pages were originally presented as a comprehensive, informative turtorial for the many citizens who provided visioning input online via this web site. In case you missed the chance to review this information during that earlier phase of the Master Plan development, we think you'll find the information a valuable reference and backdrop against which to track the ongoing progress of the city's Master Plan.

Nathan Gaspard of the Moore Planning Group, LLC presents mapping of Ridgeland's existing assets, limitations and potentials that the firm prepared, so that citizens could "dream based upon realities" about the future of Ridgeland.     Ridgeland residents follow the presentation of inventory and analysis mapping at one of the three well attended community meetings.
       
       
After the presentation, participants joined in small group discussions and recorded their responses to a series of Master Plan Vision and Goals questions.     Ridgeland High School Ambassadors review the mapping provided by MPG and locate their homes and frequently visited places.
