The Downtown Master Plan is a major effort to consider recent growth, current trends, and best practices, and to define updates to the city’s policies to guide the next 20-30 years. The city is committed to updating its policies to address the issues of today and prepare for those that may arise. The process is an opportunity to consider the direction of the Downtown in light of current trends and community values and is an effort to proactively address topics that are important to you.
This plan will be a tool the community will use, to guide future growth in and around the Downtown in an appropriate and desired way, improving the quality of life of residents. They'll help plan growth over the years and guide our Downtown into the much-needed improvements while maintaining its history and charm, which we all love. The process will result in the development of a new Downtown Master Plan.
DRAFT Downtown Vision Plan
The Downtown Advisory Committee (DTAC) voted on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 to endorse the Downtown Vision Plan DRAFT. This draft plan was completed after over 12 months of community outreach, committee conversations and in depth research on our Nacogdoches community. We are now entering the public outreach stage of the Master Planning process - this draft will be presented to many groups during the summer of 2023 before being presented to Nacogdoches City Council in late summer 2023.
