Virginia Beach is in the process of updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan). The Comp Plan process determines community goals for future development. Through a robust public engagement process, a general plan is developed and the resulting document outlines and regulates the City’s public policies on areas including transportation, land use, recreation, economic development, housing and more.

Do you think Virginia Beach needs to build more affordable housing, focus on improving traffic congestion, prioritize the environment and flood mitigation? Should the City try to attract more tech companies? Should there be more pedestrian-friendly bikeways and trails? All of the above? If you have thoughts, join a conversation about change – where we are, and where we want to be in the future at one of four upcoming public meetings hosted by the Department of Planning & Community Development.

These meetings will be held at locations throughout the City Nov. 4 through 9.

• Monday, Nov. 6: 6 – 8 p.m. at Kellam High School, 2665 West Neck Road
