In 2016, THK Associates, Inc. was retained to assist the Town of Georgetown in updating their Comprehensive Plan. The plan built upon and modernized the Town’s 2000 Comprehensive Plan, responding to a series of key issues and goals identified by the citizens of the community and the Town Staff. The plan provides clear direction, time frames and potential funding partners to support the implementation of these goals in the future. The document also serves as the foundation for land development regulations and capital improvement programming.

THK structured the “user-friendly” 40-page document around three sections in addition to the Introduction:

• "Plan Influences" includes a community profile, trends and issues summary, and planning influences map.
• "Policy Framework" outlines the citizens' vision, goals, key strategies, priority actions and maps themes.
• "Plan Implementation" organizes the action items into an implementation matrix for approaching, monitoring, and evaluating progress toward achieving the Plan’s vision and goals.

THK also directed intense public outreach, leading four public meetings and working closely with the Project Steering Committee, Town of Georgetown Staff, Board of Selectman, and Planning Commission, to center the needs and vision of the community. Project Steering Committee members expressed views from Design Review Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Business Promotions Commission and Clear Creek County Staff.

THK also updated Plan maps, including Planning Influences, Character Areas, Land Use Plan, Transportation Plan, and Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, to accurately reflect changes to the existing conditions, needs, and desires of the community. Our updates also act as a framework for future plans and development.
