2026 Comprehensive Plan
The plan is organized into chapters — each opens with a vision, then breaks down into the goals, strategies, and actions that move it forward. Start anywhere.
Chapters
Central City is well-positioned to grow and diversify, actively facilitating desired change while acknowledging the need for an economic engine to attract and sustain a diverse economy.
Guide future large-scale development through a growth-resilient infrastructure framework that converts scale into strength rather than strain.
Housing is the backbone of community life. Cultivate a diverse, inclusive, resilient housing ecosystem supporting residents across all income levels.
Sustain historic resources through strengthened regulation, strategic growth, rigorous adherence to preservation standards, and targeted rehabilitation programs.
Companion sections
Two chapters live on their own surfaces — the framing up front and the delivery tracking out back.
