Greenwood’s draft comprehensive plan open to public review

The city of Greenwood will hold a public presentation on the draft of a new comprehensive plan later this month.

Greenwood officials are creating a new comprehensive plan, documents that will guide development and growth in the city for the next 10 to 20 years. The full plan was last updated in 2007, and while there have been some smaller updates since then, it does not account for all of the growth the city has seen over the last 20 years.

The updated plan addresses the city’s “Four Pillars” — public safety, infrastructure, economic development and quality of life. It will also prioritize the eastern corridor of the city’s sustained expansion, reinvestment in long-established areas and look at the future of the city’s southwest corner.

The public presentation for the draft will take place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. July 24 inside Community Rooms A and B at the Greenwood Public Library, 310 S. Meridian St. City officials need the public’s assistance in reviewing the plan and providing feedback, according to a flyer on the event.

The draft plan, along with a survey, can be found at PlanGreenwood.com.
