The Comprehensive Plan is a document that guides City decision-making and investment. The Plan looks years into the future and seeks opportunities to address long term issues, but focuses on action steps for the City’s near-term efforts.
The Plan’s recommendations are intended to:
- Create a collective vision for a future Madison.
- Establish priorities for public investment, including the City’s Operating Budget, Capital Budget, and five- year Capital Improvement Program.
- Inform policies that guide City decision-making.
- Align the work of City Agencies around the issues that matter most to our residents and stakeholders.
- Create a framework for topic-specific plans and initiatives that will expand on the Comprehensive Plan’s recommendations.
- Guide private development through the Generalized Future Land Use Map and Growth Priority Areas map.
- Foster partnerships with other entities to address shared goals.
