What’s New with HenricoNext?
The Planning Department continues work on the HenricoNEXT 2045 Comprehensive Plan. New chapters of the document will be uploaded to the website periodically so residents and community stakeholders can familiarize themselves with the content.
Two new draft subchapters have been posted for review and can be found here. The first, Recreation, Parks, Open Space, and Cultural Resources, identifies the Division of Recreation and Parks' physical assets and summarizes historic cultural resources in the county. It also provides specific policies and strategies to ensure Henrico County continues its high-quality service in the decades to come.
The second is entitled Community Character and is intended to provide guidance for future development and redevelopment. It offers tangible recommendations that ensure all development enhances existing neighborhood character, as well as supports safe and connected spaces through design elements that encourage walkability and community interaction.
Envisioning What's Next Together
Henrico County has launched a major community planning effort, HenricoNext, to establish a cohesive, countywide vision for the future and an actionable strategy to achieve it. Input collected during the process will be one of several components used to rewrite Henrico County’s key policy and regulatory document, the Comprehensive Plan.
HenricoNext is a process to:
-
Define Henrico County’s priorities for the future.
-
Revisit and update the County’s vision and goals on a range of issues.
-
Outline a path to success for the coming decades.
