VVCA News & Events,

On April 25, 2016, the Growth Plan to Half a Million was approved in principle by City Council. This represents the culmination of over two years of community input and technical work and it will set the stage for our city’s growth over the next 30 to 40 years!

Thank you to everyone that has participated along the way, providing thoughtful comments and questions that have not only helped to shape the plan but will also help us as we begin implementation. This is only the beginning, so stay tuned! There will be many more opportunities for community engagement and input throughout implementation.
