What is a Comprehensive Plan?

A comprehensive plan is a detailed document that outlines a city's goals, strategies, and actions. It serves as a blueprint for future development and guides decision-making in various aspects, such as land use, transportation, housing, and economic growth.

A Comprehensive Plan considers the community's current conditions, needs, and aspirations and provides a vision for the future. It considers factors like population growth, infrastructure needs, and environmental sustainability. It helps guide a city's long-term development and decision-making process. It helps shape a place's physical, social, and economic aspects to create a better quality of life for its residents.

About the Comprehensive Plan

Throughout the planning process, we will gather feedback from various sources to ensure that we create a comprehensive plan that addresses the needs and aspirations of the community. This will include in-person community events, a Comprehensive Plan Advisory Committee, and many other opportunities.

The Comprehensive Plan will have a 30-year outlook and include short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals, strategies, and actions. We aim to collaborate with you on every aspect of the plan, including land use, infrastructure, and mobility/connectivity.

We value your input and look forward to working together to shape Crandall's future. Stay tuned for updates and opportunities to get involved!
