In the year 2030, Garland will be home to more than 240,000 residents and support businesses that employ about 117,000, all of whom are seeking a community that provides a vibrant place to live, work, play, and invest. Join us as we develop a plan for the future incorporating the dreams and aspirations of those invested in Garland’s future.
 
What kinds of development will allow our city to maximize its assets during the next twenty years? What about educational, cultural, and entertainment venues, or transportation, parks, and natural resources? What challenges must we overcome? What opportunities can we seize?
 
Envision Garland, the City’s effort to develop a new comprehensive plan, aims to answer these questions. Throughout 2008, the City will host a series of public workshops and meetings to hear your input on these questions. Residents, business owners, property owners, and other interests are invited to share their vision, their hopes, and their concerns about Garland’s future.

 
Project updates 
 
Make plans to attend this Fall's Growing the Vision! workshop.  The purpose of the workshop is to gain deeper insight into previous comments and input.
 
The next workshops will be held on Tuesday, November 11, and Saturday, December 6.  Participants are encouraged to attend either one (1) of the workshop dates. More information on the workshops is listed on the Schedule page.
 
At the June 21 visioning workshop, the community turned out to share their vision for the future.  Participants at that event shared a lot of great information and articulated their hopes for the city’s future.  This workshop is designed to start to bring the community vision to life in future Garland neighborhoods.  We will discuss what elements are necessary to make a quality neighborhood for all people and begin to develop a model for a complete future neighborhood. Show us your vision for a vital neighborhood!
