OZARK, Mo. — The City of Ozark is in the midst of Onward Ozark: Planning Our Corridors, an innovative project aimed at shaping the future growth, development, transportation, and aesthetics of three pivotal corridors within the city: North State Highway NN, South 3rd Street/Highway 14, and South Street.
The next opportunity for public input is a virtual public open house. Residents and stakeholders are invited to participate at their leisure. The open house will be available until January 26, 2024.
For the best experience, participants are encouraged to use a desktop computer or tablet rather than a smartphone.
Participants can answer detailed questions about their preferences for the corridors’ future in the virtual public open house. Additionally, they can view and provide feedback on initial ideas for the corridors’ future land uses, transportation connectivity, development and redevelopment, and economic development opportunities.
The specific corridors are defined as follows:
· The North State Highway NN corridor begins as North 9th Street at the intersection with 3rd Street/Highway 14 and then transitions into Highway NN and extends north until the intersection with West State Highway J.
· The South 3rd Street/ Highway 14 corridor extends from the intersection with South Street. It travels north to the intersection with North 9th Street.
· The South Street corridor extends from the intersection with Highway 65 to the intersection with Highway W.
Everyone is encouraged to sign up to receive project alerts via email here or via text message by texting “OnwardOzark” to 888.521.3871 and following the prompts. Subscribers will be notified of additional public engagement opportunities and project updates as they are announced.
