Garden City 2040 is Garden City’s principal guiding document. It is designed to formulate a coordinated, long-term planning program to maintain and enhance the health and viability of the community as a whole.
The Comprehensive Plan serves as a resource to both the public and private sector by projecting how land will develop, how housing will be made available, how jobs will be attracted and retained, how open space and the environment will be protected, how public services and facilities will be provided, and how transportation facilities will be improved.
