The City of Altoona is currently developing a new comprehensive plan. A municipal comprehensive plan is a vision for the community's future, with recommended goals, objectives, strategies, programming choices, and fiscal priorities needed to achieve this vision. The City's new comprehensive plan is based on various demographic, economic and social analyses and projections. However, it is being built with input from City Council, the Altoona Planning Commission, and hundreds of City residents and business owners as expressed at dozens of public meetings, neighborhood meetings, focus groups, and interviews. The process will be completed in 2012.
