While community outreach efforts have been underway around
the Charlottesville and Albemarle County Comprehensive Plan updates, TJPDC
staff have also been reviewing a variety of existing community plans from the
City, County and other local partners. A total of 81 plans were reviewed
during this process! From these plans, just over 12,000 goals,
objectives, strategies, and action items were compiled. Additionally, a
list of 224 tags representing key community issues and topics was developed and
vetted by project partners. Each of the goals was reviewed and tagged
with relevant tags to create a searchable database.
The Local Plans Database will significantly increase the
efficiency and decrease the staff time requirement related to community plan
reviews. Instead of visiting 81 different plans individually, this
compilation of community goals provides a one stop shop, allowing community
stakeholders to quickly access goals related to the important issues in
the region. This resource can be used for everything from supporting funding
applications to informing plan updates. Stay tuned to 1-community.org for
more to come…
