The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document that outlines a vision for how Raleigh will look and feel in the future, and how the city should grow to achieve that vision. The current plan is the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in 2009 and updated in 2019. As 2030 gets closer, the City is embarking on the process of developing a plan for future decades.
Reflecting Raleigh: The Next Comprehensive Plan will be a 2.5-year process, with the first year focused on engaging with residents, sharing information, and learning about their vision for the future of Raleigh. Over the next year, the City will be hosting a series of Community Conversations on the following topics:
- Affordable Housing
- Stormwater
- Trees
- Sustainable Infrastructure & Services
- Neighborhoods
- Transportation & Mobility
Sustainability and equity will be at the heart of every conversation, and we want to hear from you.
