June 19 “Community Conversation” to kick off update to Manassas comprehensive plan

The City of Manassas has begun updating its Comprehensive Plan, the City’s key policy document for land use, development, preservation and related economic and social issues. The Comprehensive Plan will lead us toward a more livable Manassas, according to a news release.  But to get there, residents are asked to state their ideas and opinions at a series of meetings. The kickoff for the update is tomorrow night:

City of Manassas Planning Commission will lead a Comprehensive Plan update Kickoff Session & Community Conversation on Land Use on Tuesday, June 19 at 7 PM, at the Boys and Girls Club, 9501 Dean Park Lane. The public is invited to attend this session and the others to follow.

Throughout the summer and fall, city officials will be hosting a second round of seven Community Conversations (public input meetings) on key topic areas, like land use, parks and transportation.
