2025 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The 2025 Heath Comprehensive Plan is an update to the City’s 2018 Plan. Adoption of the 2025 Comprehensive Plan marked the end of a two-and-a-half year planning process that included extensive issue identification through community and stakeholder input as well as the formulation of recommendations and actions. The Comprehensive Plan provides instruction on implementing the objectives and actions outlined in the document and, when used in conjunction with other documents such as the Transportation Plan and the Heath Code of Ordinances, is a useful tool for guiding the growth of Heath in accordance with the wishes of residents.
