Public Hearings were held in December. Planning Commission reviewed the plan and voted unanimously to recommend adoption of the Downtown Roanoke 2017 plan. The City Council voted 6-0 on December 18, 2017, to incorporate the plan, as amended, as an element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
The City of Roanoke hosted an Open House meeting to display the major themes and key ideas being proposed within the new Downtown Plan. Utilizing surveys, public input, and information from stakeholders, the City has begun drafting the Downtown Plan and hopes to establish policies and goals that help add new life and maintain the vibrancy of Downtown Roanoke.
The City would like your input as you review the big ideas that are starting to take shape within the Downtown Plan. The boards from the Public Meeting can be downloaded here, and can be seen in the adjacent graphic.
