Caldwell is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. Since 2000, the city's population has almost tripled.

As new residents pour in, decisions have to be made about everything from where to build new housing and businesses to transportation to how land should be zoned and used.

These decisions are guided by a comprehensive plan that provides a long-term strategy for the future, and Caldwell is rewriting their master plan and asking for the public's help. Caldwell Planning & Zoning Director Robin Collins joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
