How do you imagine Olathe in 2040? How will our neighborhoods, jobs, infrastructure, and technology change?

These are all important questions to consider as the City enters into the 20-year strategic planning process. Over the next several months, the City of Olathe will gather public input to answer these questions, and many more.
