Current Neighborhood Plans
While the City’s Comprehensive Plan helps shape the big picture of what Roanoke will look like in 20 years, Neighborhood Plans are where urban planners and community members work together to focus on the fine details. The City currently has 27 neighborhood and area plans that cover a wide range of topics, ranging from economic development and infrastructure to community design and residential development. Once Roanoke completes its 2020 – 2040 plan in 2019, City planners will dive right into updating the City’s Neighborhood Plans.
