Community Visioning Survey

The City of Spokane is currently updating its Comprehensive Plan as required by the state's Growth Management Act. Due in June 2026, the periodic update will identify policies and future regulations to guide the next 20 years of our city. This update provides us with the opportunity to identify the community's vision for Spokane now and into 2046.

We hope you were able to join us at one of the Community Vision Workshops in March. If not, or if you have more feedback to give us, this is another opportunity to share your vision as part of the PlanSpokane 2046 vision for Spokane's future.
