Officials with the City of Jersey Village are excited to announce the launch of the “Journey to 2035: Jersey Village Comprehensive Plan,” a planning effort focused on enhancing the city’s future.
Supported by a grant from the Texas General Land Office (GLO) Resilient Communities Program, the Journey to 2035 Comprehensive Plan will address key areas, including land use, housing, economic development, parks and gathering spaces, resiliency and hazard mitigation, infrastructure and transportation, and natural resources and disaster preparedness.
The planning process is being performed under the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan Update Committee (CPUC), which was formed early this summer after the GLO notified the City that it was being awarded grant funding to support the plan’s development.
In the spirit of inclusivity, the City encourages residents of all ages, backgrounds, and perspectives to participate in the Journey to 2035 survey which is accessible at jerseyvillagejourney.org. Community feedback plays a central role in developing comprehensive plans, and all survey responses will be carefully considered to help define the priorities and strategies for Jersey Village.
“Our community members know Jersey Village best, and their input will guide our decisions on important issues like parks, housing, disaster preparedness, and gathering spaces,” said Austin Bleess, City Manager for Jersey Village. “The Journey to 2035 survey is a unique opportunity for residents to directly impact the future of our city.”
This survey is open until November 30, 2024. Visit jerseyvillagejourney.org to participate, learn more about the project, stay updated on milestones, and discover additional engagement opportunities as they are scheduled including a series of interactive workshops and presentations.
“The Jersey Village Comprehensive Plan is not just about planning for today—it’s about ensuring a safe, sustainable, and prosperous community for our residents tomorrow and into 2035and beyond,” said Bobby Warren, Mayor of Jersey Village. “We are committed to creating a roadmap that reflects our residents’ values and visions.”
