Edmond Builds

Slide1

Edmond Builds is a neighborhood-level initiative where “The Power of Two” (the City and YOU) brings the City of Edmond and your community together to improve quality of life. Edmond Builds explores opportunities for partnerships, citizen toolbox kits, and bridging gaps between City and citizen priorities by emphasizing empowerment and accountability.

Edmond Builds is the result of the City of Edmond's long-range planning efforts, including recommendations from The Edmond Plan (2018), Tomorrow's Edmond (1999), public outreach, and the City Council Strategic Goals. 

The first area initiative is well underway, so check back on this page for updates!
