RAMPup Ridgeland - Ridgeland MS Area Master Plan

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.
