The City of Northfield's Comprehensive Plan is a document that outlines long-range plans for managing the growth of the community. The plan provides a framework for establishing policies, standards and principles pertaining to the city’s planning, zoning and public service activities. The plan was updated in November of 2008 after an extensive revision process. A hard-copy of the plan is on file in the City Clerk's office, the Planning and Zoning office and at the Northfield Public Library.
