Hold public hearing on draft plan for new housing development

7-2Housing & Homelessness

In Plain English

State law requires cities to plan for enough housing to meet projected population growth. Richmond created a draft plan showing where new homes could be built over the next 8 years. The planning commission already reviewed and recommended the plan. If approved, the city submits it to the state for final approval.
