In the year 2030, Garland will be home to more than 240,000 residents and support businesses that employ about 117,000, all of whom are seeking a community that provides a vibrant place to live, work, play, and invest. Join us as we develop a plan for the future incorporating the dreams and aspirations of those invested in Garland’s future.
What kinds of development will allow our city to maximize its assets during the next twenty years? What about educational, cultural, and entertainment venues, or transportation, parks, and natural resources? What challenges must we overcome? What opportunities can we seize?
Envision Garland, the City’s effort to develop a new comprehensive plan, aims to answer these questions. Throughout 2008, the City will host a series of public workshops and meetings to hear your input on these questions. Residents, business owners, property owners, and other interests are invited to share their vision, their hopes, and their concerns about Garland’s future.
Project updates
The Garland Youth Council (GYC) invites Garland youth to help shape the future of Garland. The GYC’s January 20, 2009, meeting will be devoted to gathering input for the City’s Envision Garland comprehensive plan process.
The workshop will include an overview of the comprehensive plan process and interactive sessions designed to allow participants to discuss specific issues. Participants also will have an opportunity to create a vision statement for Garland’s future. More information on the workshop is listed on the Schedule page.
