After nearly a year of community conversations about the vision and values for the future of Lakewood, the Envision Lakewood 2040 project team is excited to share the Draft Vision Elements for the updated Comprehensive Plan!
The Vision Elements include the Vision Statement, Guiding Principles, Goals and Strategies that will be incorporated into the full Comprehensive Plan document. Together, these elements articulate Lakewood’s vision, values and priorities that will guide city decision-making over the next 15 years.
Drafting these Vision Elements has been the focus of the City-Council appointed volunteer Advisory Groups (AG) during a series of 10 meetings from May through November 2024, with an estimated 600-plus hours spent by AG members reviewing, discussing, and refining these drafts while receiving support from staff, consultants and community input received through a communitywide survey and at two open houses. More details about the AG and their process are available at Lakewood.org/AG.
We’re asking community members for feedback on these draft Vision Elements prior to finalizing them for the full Comprehensive Plan adoption process with Planning Commission and City Council in early 2025. Please take a few minutes to complete this short seven question survey by January 10, 2025, to help shape the city’s future through its Comprehensive Plan. Please encourage your friends, family, and neighbors who live, work or visit Lakewood to take the survey too!
