The Planning Department has been working with residents and stakeholders to determine a vision for the future of Virginia Beach since July of 2023. The Comprehensive Planning staff and the project consultant used the feedback received to draft the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

The Planning Commission will publicly discuss the draft plan following the commission’s April 9 Public Hearing. Two public meetings have been scheduled for residents and other stakeholders to receive an overview of the draft plan as well. The first will be held Wednesday, May 14 at the Central Library (4100 Virginia Beach Boulevard) from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. and the second will be Thursday, May 15 at Building 19 at the Municipal Center (2416 Courthouse Drive) from 6 to 8 p.m.
