Cannon Falls Comprehensive Plan (2003)

This plan addresses these impacts and the way Cannon Falls residents will respond to the challenges that face them.  For example, residents hope they can replace some of the lost services as expected population increases bring buying power to the community.  At the same time, the community wants to make sure that the new subdivisions and developments that house new residents are well designed and provide a variety housing types and prices.
