Planning
Comprehensive Plan
This Comprehensive Plan (PDF) provides a long-term vision for the future of Radford, and builds upon the City's 2001 Comprehensive Plan to make Radford a "Green" community that is truly the New River City by establishing strong connections to the River. Major themes that run throughout this Plan are identifying and implementing "Green Infrastructure" initiatives that will protect the natural character of the City; diversifying the tax base through residential, commercial and industrial development with significant redevelopment opportunities, all in a sustainable manner; beautifying the entire City and instilling pride throughout the community once again; and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents, students, tourists and businesses.
