Participate In The Comprehensive Plan

How Is The Comprehensive Plan Created?

The Framework 2040 Comprehensive Plan update process is built upon input from community members. This input, in combination with analysis of existing conditions and trends, provides a base for development of goals and policies to address key issues and challenges throughout unincorporated Maricopa County.

The Comprehensive Plan update process is structured to provide numerous opportunities for community members to engage with and provide feedback on the vision, goals, and policies of the Plan, with a focus on making feedback opportunities accessible to the full range of Maricopa County community members.
