The next Tempe Tomorrow: General Plan 2050 public and online meetings will provide an opportunity for residents to give their ideas for open space, parks, land use, transportation, historic preservation, neighborhoods and more.

The meetings take place Thursday, Jan. 19: noon for a Zoom session, and an open house begins 5:30 p.m. at the Tempe History Museum, 800 E. Southern Ave. 

“The general plan is the overarching policy document for the City of Tempe,” city officials said in a release.

“It reflects the community’s vision for the future and is an expression of how the community wants to grow and change over the next 30 years.” 

The plan is intended to guide how Tempe plans for development, land use, transportation, mass transit, economic development, historic preservation, neighborhood enhancement, public art, cultural amenities, human services, recreation and open space.

It also provides a roadmap in planning for sustainability, climate change, environmental improvements and “in achieving a good quality of life and community well-being,” the release stated.

All Arizona cities are required to update their general plans every 10 years and they are created in concert with residents, area businesses and other interested people.
