One Tacoma Plan
Everyone in Tacoma deserves a city that keeps us safe, lets us live sustainably with our land and water, and contributes to our physical, social, and economic health.
Tacoma’s Comprehensive Plan is an important tool that establishes the City’s future vision and policy direction, as well as guiding growth and development over the next 25 years. It helps us decide how to use our land and water, improve our city streets and transportation, build a variety of housing options that satisfy the needs of our citizens at ever
y stage of life, and maintain public facilities and services like parks, libraries, utilities, and more.
You can provide feedback on the once-in-a-decade update to Tacoma’s Comprehensive Plan. After a year of gathering input from thousands of community members online and in person, the draft of the updated One Tacoma Plan is ready for your review. Read the draft plan and find out how to share your feedback before March 7, 2025.
