Arlington Comprehensive Plan Update Adopted 3-17-2015 | Page 144

Visioning Process
Update of the Comprehensive Plan is not only the first citywide comprehensive
planning process since 1992; it also involved an extensive citywide visioning
process. The process included the city’s first online discussion forum designed
early on to get more people involved and to raise awareness of community
issues. There were also multiple avenues for general public input including
surveys, public meetings, workshops and the internet. The process fostered
partnerships and coalitions while it also raised public awareness and promoted
public discussion about Arlington’s future. The Stakeholder Groups and Futures
Committee are acknowledged below as they committed to the planning process
early on and spent countless hours to discuss, debate, and create the foundation
of the Comprehensive Plan Update.
Stakeholder Groups
The Visioning Process was led by ten
stakeholder groups. These groups,
which ranged from Arts and Culture to
Youth and Recreation, were comprised
of leaders from 100 organizations that
pledged their commitment to the
Visioning Process.
