Design Standards Project

The City of Belle Plaine is committed to keeping Belle Plaine beautiful!

The Belle Plaine Design Manual was completed and adopted by the City Council in September 2008. The Design Manual has been implemented to serve as a guideline for development and redevelopment within the City of Belle Plaine.
