Newton Comprehensive Plan | Virtual Visioning Workshop

The City of Newton is currently writing a comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan will be the guide for Newton's growth, development, and improvement over the next 10 years. Comprehensive planning is an intentional process that studies what a city is currently like, and most importantly, casts a detailed vision for how residents want their community to look like, feel like, and function in the future. This process is critical to ensure Newton continues to thrive. The comprehensive plan is community-driven. You have a say. You have a voice. You can help shape Newton's better tomorrow.
