Information from OP:

The DC Office of Planning is amending the District’s Comprehensive Plan, a 20-year framework that guides future growth and development in the city and shapes the places we live, work, shop, and play. OP launched the second amendment cycle to the Comprehensive Plan this year to ensure that the Plan remains responsive to the needs of the community.

Your ideas are essential to a successful amendment process. Between October 19 and November 14, 2016, OP is hosting a series of 7 community meetings. The meetings are organized geographically; please refer to the map for the location nearest to you. Come learn about the amendment process, share your ideas and help shape the future of the District!
