Nashville Comprehensive Plan

The Town of Nashville is beginning the process to create a Comprehensive Plan. The Plan will serve as an official policy document that guides community development and shapes Nashville’s future. Elected officials, staff, developers, business owners, and citizens will use this document to review current proposals and policies that impact growth and strategic investments throughout the Town. At its core, this document will explain where we are now, where we want to be, and how we will get there.

Your input is critical to the success of creating Nashville’s Comprehensive Plan. It is your vision, values, and hopes that feed this document and help design the plan for Nashville’s future. Citizens play the role of local expert. You live and breathe the Town of Nashville and understand it far better than any regional agency or consulting firm. Your opinion is important because you truly understand what is and is not working for the for the betterment of the Town. Only a local expert such as yourself can express where specific changes can be implemented to make the Town a better place to live in the future.

We thank you in advance for your participation in the creation of this document and for the insights you will contribute.
