Imagine Irving: Planning for the Future.
What is a comprehensive plan? It describes a community's vision for its future and charts the course that the community will follow to achieve that vision.
The Imagine Irving plan, adopted in 2017, helps shape the city’s future by focusing on revitalization, strong neighborhoods, and a thriving business community. As Irving continues to grow, the plan ensures the city remains a great place to live, work, and visit—without relying on outside funding.
