Eudora comprehensive plan: The city of Eudora will host a public town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall to discuss the city’s comprehensive plan update process. The plan addresses issues such as land use, transportation, housing, recreation and economic development. The current comprehensive plan was developed in 2003 and updated in 2005. The current update will give community members an opportunity to refine the city’s vision for life in Eudora. The meeting will last around an hour and a half and give residents an opportunity to share their opinions on the direction the city is going. Those who are unable to attend can also take an online survey, which will be open until Feb. 10.
