On Thursday, May 15 2008 from 6 to 8 PM, the City of Richmond will host an open house for learning more about the status of the Comprehensive Plan process. From 6 to 7 PM, visitors will be able to browse booths set up by each subcommittee of the comprehensive plan implementation committee, to learn about what's been done and what's still left to do. From 7 PM onward, visitors will have a chance to talk to and ask questions of the leadership involved in the plan implementation.

The event will be held on the 3rd floor of the Richmond City Building, in the lobby outside of Council chambers. For more information, contact the City of Richmond.

Thanks to WayNET.org, the entire copy of Richmond's new Comprehensive Plan is available online in PDF format. The plan is full of progressive goals related to sustainability and conservation, city image and identity, transportation and more. Its vision is bold, and if implemented, it could mean great things for the future of Richmond and surrounding areas.
