Plan Danville is a comprehensive plan, a 20-year policy document that directs how and where change will occur in our city. The plan is intended to address our built and natural environments – everything from housing and parks to businesses and transportation, improving our quality of life, and making our city more resilient.

City staff, city council, and planning commission will all use this plan as a guide for decision making over the next twenty years, on anything from approving new developments to making road improvements. Get involved today to ensure the decisions of the future align with your wants and needs.

The last plan established the framework around which the city’s physical community,  economic growth and development will be shaped and guided. The plan achieved key improvements to the following infrastructure and resources:

Corridors & Gateways, Housing & Neighborhoods, Historic & Cultural Resources, Sustainable Growth & Land Use, Economic Development Resources, and Transportation.

Caesar’s Resort and Casino and other developments currently underway in the city have already been designed and approved, meaning this plan will have little impact on the buildings themselves. However, it can influence future developments to be more walkable, fit with the character of the neighborhood, encourage businesses residents want and need, and more.
