The Department of Planning and Zoning is responsible for creating plans, drafting policy and coordinating the implementation of civic projects that relate to the City’s vision of the future. This vision is set forth in the Comprehensive Plan based on the observation of trends in employment, population, housing, local culture and other metrics. The primary goal of long-range planning is to enhance the quality of life for all residents and ensure an efficient use of City resources.
Building Jeff Comprehensive Plan
In 2023, the City of Jeffersonville adopted its newest Comprehensive Plan, “Building Jeff.” This plan creates a framework for the next two decades of growth and development in the City. Building Jeff promotes efficiency and economy in the process of development while helping to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare of the community. Ultimately, the plan aims to visualize Jeffersonville’s future so that we may take action to address that future today.
