The City of Suffolk is currently working on the next Comprehensive Plan. This plan will provide the basis for how the City of Suffolk manages growth. It will impact where future development will happen, as well as influence policy and improvements in infrastructure such as schools, roads, public utilities, conservation and the protection of our quality of life as citizens of Suffolk. 

What can you do to impact the Comprehensive Plan?

The City of Suffolk will be holding a series of Winter Community Engagement Sessions running through this month and February. In these meetings, the city is looking for feedback from residents for the upcoming Comprehensive Plan. We encourage all city residents to attend at least one session, and bring friends, family and neighbors, to speak with the Suffolk Planning Department about the following:
 
  • Planning and coordinating approaches for residential and commercial development
  • Carefully managing the impacts of increased residential development
  • Mitigating traffic congestion and developing roadway improvements
  • Designing a city that maintains its rural heritage and small-town feel
  • Creating opportunities for Downtown investment and revitalization
  • Incorporating open space, parks, entertainment, restaurants, recreation, and retail opportunities
