The City of Sioux Falls is partnering with the community to update our Sustainability Master Plan. The plan will focus on sustainability in these aspects of our community: Natural Systems, Transportation and Land Use, Energy and Buildings, Community Vitality and Sustainable Living, Sustainable Economy, and Materials Management and Waste. It will also prioritize social equity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There are several ways to get involved.
The City is asking youth in grades 6–12 to show their creativity by designing their sustainable Sioux Falls. They are looking for original and innovative drawings to gain ideas for the City’s future sustainability goals and actions. Designs can be of the entire city, a residence, or more. Inventive, plausible solutions are highly encouraged. A written explanation or narrative must be included with the drawing.
