Over the next few years, the City of Altoona's Planning Commission (established 1916) and planning staff will draft a new comprehensive plan for the City entitled Altoona 2030. This plan will document a new vision for the City as well as strategies to achieve this vision. The plan will focus on subjects such as neighborhoods, historic resources, demographics, local economics, natural resources, future land use patterns, housing, transportation, community facilities, public utilities, energy usage, intermunicipal cooperation, capital improvements programming, and the City's finances. Neighborhood meetings, focus groups, and other broad outreach efforts will be used to develop this vision.

When the Planning Commission is finished drafting this document, it will be presented to Altoona City Council for their review and potential adoption. The entire process of developing Altoona 2030 should take at least two to three years. However, the draft chapters of this plan will be posted here as they are developed.
