Great opportunities and significant challenges are ahead. The goals of the City Commission are to:

• Encourage, promote, and welcome expanding residential and business growth and development;
• Provide safe, secure, family-oriented communities;
• Influence, foster, and maintain the interest of safety;
• Protect and preserve well-known historic sites and memorabilia; and
• Provide a healthy business and economic atmosphere.

It is our belief that each resident and business is of the utmost importance and deserves the very best that taxpayer dollars can provide in order to develop and maintain a city that is financially secure and one in which we can all be proud.

Updating the 2014 Plan 

For its continued relevance, the 2014 Plan is being updated. The 2014 Plan has been under evaluation and based on subsequent discussions with the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Commission, staff will present recommendations for an update to the 2014 Plan.

We need your Input!

The update process is intended to be a collaborative process and aims to capture collective aspirations and vision of the Richmond community. We request your participation and Inputs through taking our survey.

This survey is intended to gauge general sentiments and preferences. It is also relatively brief to encourage a higher rate of response and enable prompt processing of the results. It is recognized that the implications and details beyond these questions are what matter most to many people. Along with other means of input from residents, businesses and other local interests, the survey results will provide a basis for more in-depth discussions on these topics in the months ahead.

How to Take the Survey

The survey has 23 questions, most of which are quick check-off items. The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete, depending on how much time you spend where further comments are requested (which also have length limits). You may skip any question with which you are uncomfortable or have no opinion at this point.

Note that only one survey response per device (computer, tablet, phone, etc.) is permitted to prevent multiple survey responses from the same individual.
