Asheville residents invited to comment on draft Comprehensive Plan

June 21, 2017


From coffeehouse chats to an online survey, the City of Asheville invites residents to weigh in. 

It has been over a year in the making. Meetings, workshops, focus groups, key pads, white boards, photographs, essays, charts, graphics, data, visions, plans, maps, presentations, spreadsheets, interviews, videos, display boards, edits, flyers, logos, surveys, reports, updates, blog posts, press releases, tweets, emails, comment cards, posted notes, themes and big ideas. And now it is finally coming together. 

The City of Asheville is ready to release a draft of Living Asheville: A Comprehensive Plan for Our Future (the Plan). A comprehensive plan is a community’s vision for its future, and once adopted, it will be used as an important guiding document for City staff and decision makers for the next 15-20 years. Residents are invited to review the draft plan and provide input.
