Fraser Comprehensive Plan Update 2024-2026
So, what is a comprehensive plan?
A comprehensive plan is a guiding document for decision makers that includes a vision for what kind of place Fraser wants to be. It uses a framework of goals, strategies, and actions in order to achieve said vision. It includes topics like land use, transportation, housing, economic vitality, and community resiliency. Also included is a Future Land Use Map that more specifically identifies where and how Fraser might change over time.
We want to hear from you!
City and Resident input will inform the core of the final plan. Therefore, we will be hosting various in-person and online engagement opportunities to collect community feedback. Please attend any of the events or leave any general comments below.
