Albany 2030

The org behind Albany 2030 -- the effort to develop a comprehensive plan for the City of Albany -- is holding the first of its "kickoff community forums" tonight at 6:30 pm at Albany High School.

So, what's the comprehensive plan? From the project's about section:

Albany 2030: Your City, Your Future is a process to create the City's first Comprehensive Plan. The Albany Comprehensive Plan will include the City's collective vision for the future, as well as maps, policies, and guidelines that describe how to achieve that vision (See FAQs: "What is a Comprehensive Plan" for more info). The City has many completed and ongoing planning initiatives, including neighborhood revitalization plans, redevelopment programs, economic development plans, housing initiatives and studies, and recreation and greenway plans. Many City residents have been extensively involved in these planning efforts. Part of the Albany 2030: Your City, Your Future process is to build on this momentum and create a cohesive vision for a sustainable future for the entire City.

There are two more kickoff meetings this week, Friday morning at the North Albany Y and Saturday afternoon at Hackett Middle School.
