The Galt Market Community Plan offers the City a unique opportunity to revitalize and redesign the Galt Market to enhance the customer experience, while providing other development opportunities that would complement the Market, such as ancillary retail/restaurant uses, various densities of residential development, senior housing, etc. The Revised Galt Market Community Plan is a visioning exercise and an opportunity to generate community discussion and feedback. The April 6, 2021 City Council staff report and PowerPoint presentation are available at https://bit.ly/3u5UK0O.
City staff will be conducting public outreach during April/May 2021 to City affiliated committees, commissions, and other government and nongovernmental organizations to gather additional feedback on the Plan. Feedback collected from these meetings will be presented to City Council in June 2021 for a final acceptance. We need your feedback. You can email your comments on the Galt Market Community Plan, to clerk@cityofgalt.org.
