Community members have several upcoming opportunities to learn about the next phase of the Innovate Arlington Comprehensive Plan process and give their feedback on the work done so far.

The City of Arlington invites residents to participate in a series of community meetings and pop-up events this November to share their feedback on the draft Vision Framework, potential growth scenarios, and future land use place types for the Innovate Arlington Comprehensive Plan. This is an opportunity for residents, business owners, students, and community partners to have a direct voice in shaping Arlington’s long-term future.

Each session will offer community members the opportunity to explore the draft Vision Framework, which outlines community priorities around neighborhood character, economic vitality, mobility, sustainability and what makes Arlington unique. Attendees will be able to review the work that has been done so far, share input on what matters most for Arlington’s neighborhoods and quality of life, and meet with city planners and staff to learn how community feedback directly informs the Comprehensive Plan.

Free food and Innovate Arlington merchandise will be available at each event while supplies last. All ages are welcome at all meetings.

Why Your Voice Matters
The Innovate Arlington Comprehensive Plan is more than a policy document—it’s a community-driven vision. Built on public input, the draft framework focuses on five key vision elements that will guide Arlington’s future. These elements include vibrant and safe neighborhoods with community pride and inviting gathering spaces; an innovative and thriving economy with opportunities for all; a connected and walkable city with accessible transportation linking neighborhoods and destinations; sustainable and healthy infrastructure supported by green spaces and environmental stewardship; and a welcoming community culture that celebrates arts, history, culture, and civic engagement.

Those who cannot attend in person can still share feedback and follow the plan’s progress online at ArlingtonListens.com/Comprehensive-Plan.
