Community Engagement

The City of Manassas adopted the 2040 Comprehensive Plan on February 24, 2020.  The Plan is the culmination of a collaborative multi-year process that brought together citizens, stakeholders, and local officials to define a community-driven vision for the future. 

In 2017 - 2018, the City completed a Citizen Survey and Community Conversations to gather input on the community’s priorities and vision. Using the results of this outreach and supplemental studies, the Planning Commission drafted the Plan. The Planning Commission held two public hearings on the update and recommended approval. 

The Community Engagement portion of the Comprehensive Plan Update included two phases of Community Conversations meetings, pop-up events, HOA meetings, and an online engagement tool, Let’s Talk Manassas. These activities aimed to learn more about the priorities of our citizens and to define a community-driven vision for the future.
