Rolla Comprehensive Plan Update, 2005-2020
The update of the Rolla Comprehensive Plan, the City's long range plan for the physical development of the community, was initiated in January 2005 and was adopted by City Council on January 17, 2006. The Rolla 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update serves as the basis for decisions regarding future growth, land use, and public infrastructure development. The Plan's development was assisted by a 19 member Planning Advisory Committee, appointed by City Council, which met regularly during the year completing their work in October 2005 with a draft of the Rolla 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update that included a "Growth Vision" and "Values" statements for the City. Also included were goals, guiding principles and policy statements for the plan elements.
In November 2005 the City conducted a series of open houses and sent Comprehensive Plan brochures ( Front 5.5mb | Back ) to all Rolla households.
The adopted "Vision" Statement for Rolla says: "Rolla will be a progressive, clean, safe, economically balanced, family-oriented city, offering the region a strong economy, quality education and health care, unified leadership, superior cultural and recreational opportunities, and excellent community services and physical facilities."

5th Interchange (Rolla West)
The attached fifth interchange layout map illustrates the scope of the proposed "Rolla West" project. The red line indicates the proposed improvement district boundary while the blue line suggests the location of future road improvements. This extensive and far reaching project will not only solve some of Rolla’s most pressing transportation problems, but also open up hundreds of acres for new commercial development – thereby adding to the City's sales and property tax base needed to fund services and other improvements. At approximately $33 to $35 million, the Rolla West project can be viewed as having several phases, including the extension of Highway 72 to Bridge School Road, the construction of a fifth Rolla interchange, the widening of Bridge School Road, the improvement of the existing service roads between the interchanges, and installation of other interior access roads. The Rolla West project was presented as part of the Rolla 2020 Comprehensive Plan Update adopted by City Council in January 2006.
The City is very interested in partnering with other governmental and private entities to bring this project to fruition. Key to our success is the partnership with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Highway Commission, Missouri University of Science and Technology, Phelps County, and the Rolla Regional Economic Commission (RREC). Through cooperation we hope to achieve improvements and growth that will propel Rolla and Phelps County into a bright and prosperous future.
Since this project is in its early planning stages we are very interested in any input we can get from the citizens of Rolla. Whether you live in the affected area or not please let us know your thoughts, ideas and/or complaints about this project.
Send a message to John Petersen, (Director of Community Development) about the Rolla West project.
