Last call for the strategic planning survey
We need your help! The City of Richfield is currently undertaking a strategic planning process to set goals for the future. This process will develop priorities for the city that will then be used to direct resources over the next 3-5 years.
The most important part of this process is feedback from individuals like you! One of the best ways you can get involved is by taking a few minutes and filling out the strategic planning survey. Over 400 residents have already done so – but we still want to hear your voice. Anyone who lives, works, learns or regularly visits Richfield is welcome to take the survey.
The survey will close on March 4.

Kids@Home program now open for applications
Applications are available through March 11 for the award-winning Kids@Home program. Unique to Richfield, this four-year rental subsidy helps Richfield parents with their housing costs in order to provide stability to their children and households. It is the program people say "can't be real" because it offers such an amazing opportunity for low and moderate-income renters.
