Moody residents are encouraged to get involved to help shape the future of their city.
The City of Moody announces the launch of Moody at the Crossroads, a 20-year comprehensive planning effort, with an all new website rolling out to support it.
The website can be found at www.moodyatthecrossroads.com.
Comprehensive planning is the process by which communities work together to define a shared vision for the future, then set the goals and action steps necessary to realize it. It details community preferences as they relate to growth policy, infrastructure upgrades, and public services and creates a sense of certainty for residents.
"Comprehensive planning sets expectations," says the website, "providing a framework for evaluating development proposals as a city grows and evolves. It expresses the community’s priorities, and describes where and how development should occur."
Mayor Joe Lee, quoted in the Trussville Tribune, elaborated during the January 24 city council meeting in which the planning process was approved:
“We want to identify our commercial, our residential and our industrial uses in our city and what land is best fitted to serve those needs. Parks and rec, walking trails and all of that will be addressed as part of the plan.”
An Online Hub
The website features an overview of the process, news on its latest developments, upcoming opportunities for community input, both online and in person, and supporting materials and plan drafts as they emerge. Residents are encouraged to take a look around, learn more, share information with neighbors, and involve themselves in the process as it unfolds.
