In 2020, the Paris City Commission funded the development of the West Side Neighborhood Plan in partnership with the West Side Neighborhood, Community Leadership, EHI Consultants and the Bourbon County Joint Planning Office. This Plan examines the impact of the built environment on access to economic opportunity with the goal of enhancing quality of life for its residents. One of many action items committed to is the relocation of the City of Paris Solid Waste Transfer Station.
The purpose of the West Side Neighborhood Plan is to provide an articulated, shared vision to guide decision making. This initiative was developed to provide a special set of circumstances that require a more detailed planning strategy for neighbors to resolve a broad range of issues. Neighborhood planning is an extension of the City of Paris’ Comprehensive Plan, which identifies detailed goals and strategies for reaching the future land use and public infrastructure investments. Neighborhood planning for the West Side community is an essential phase towards meeting residents’ needs for a more habitable and sustainable community.
