The City of Crystal invites residents and business owners to a community information meeting on Wednesday, May 27 at 6 p.m. at Crystal City Hall. The city is facing rising costs to maintain and replace aging streets and utility systems, including water, stormwater, and sewer infrastructure. As part of the 2027 budget process, the Crystal City Council is reviewing funding options for these long-term needs.

The City of Crystal is inviting residents, businesses and community stakeholders to review and provide feedback on the draft Resilient Crystal Climate Action Plan. The draft plan represents the culmination of a community-driven planning process that combined technical analysis and community input. From February through May 2026, a 24-member planning team composed of residents, commissioners, city staff, and council representatives participated in a series of workshops to identify local climate challenges and develop strategies for a more resilient future.

The Crystal Recreation Department has launched a community-wide Recreation Needs Assessment Survey, giving participants of all ages the opportunity to help shape the future of local programming, events and services. The survey is designed to gather feedback on current recreation offerings, identify barriers that may prevent participation, and spark new community opportunities. Whether participants are frequent park users, partake occasionally or have never enrolled in a class, all feedback is welcome and will help ensure city resources are prioritized effectively.
