Suffolk 2045, the City’s project to update the comprehensive plan continues to move forward in the adoption process. The City Council will consider adoption of Suffolk 2045 after holding a public hearing on November 20th. The updated version of Suffolk 2045 and the track changes version of the document are posted on the project website: suffolk2045.org.
This updated version of the Suffolk 2045 Comprehensive Plan responds to the direction from City Council to the City Manager on August 21st to provide additional project-specific detail and direction for the transportation policy recommendations in the plan that address traffic congestion in the city. This additional work has been completed and can be found in Chapter 4 Transportation of the comprehensive plan beginning on page 83.
Suffolk 2045: the City of Suffolk Comprehensive Plan will replace Suffolk 2035: a Vision for the Future which was adopted by City Council in April 2015. A comprehensive plan is a long-range guide that reflects the values and goals of the local community. It is a broad public policy document that guides the future physical development of the locality considering the input of residents, businesses and other stakeholders. Suffolk 2045 continues the focused growth strategy adopted in earlier comprehensive plans by directing growth to designated areas and coordinating growth with investments in infrastructure and municipal services.
Copies of the latest draft plan are available for review at all Suffolk Public Library locations.
