Reflecting Raleigh Timeline
The City of Raleigh is embarking on a multi-year journey to write the City’s Next Comprehensive Plan. Over the course of the next few years, we will engage with residents to develop, draft, and implement our new plan. Our process is centered around ensuring Raleigh’s unique needs and voices are reflected in our plan. Each phase of the project will look a little different.
Phase 1 – Engage and Assess
Between July 2024 and September 2025, the City hosted and attended over 90 events and engaged with over 12,000 community members. The goal in Phase 1 was to understand existing conditions and community priorities. Learn more about what we did, who we talked to, and what we heard.
Phase 2 – Develop
Currently, the City is working with a Civic Assembly and Technical Teams of subject matter experts to develop goals, policies, and actions based on what we learned in Phase 1. Learn more about Phase 2 with the Civic Assembly and each of the five Technical Teams.
More About the Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range policy document adopted and amended by the City Council. It establishes a vision for the city, provides policy guidance for growth and development, and contains action items directed at the City to implement the vision.
