  • Rappahannock Regional Jail 34
    Part I: Setting the Stage Setting the Stage In 2007, the City Council adopted a Vision Statement to guide Fredericksburg toward its 300th anniversary in 2028. This Comprehensive Plan provides the framework for the community to attain that vision – addressing current conditions, defining goals for the future, and providing strategies that reconcile the existing conditions and the City’s desired outcomes. This Part I of the Comprehensive Plan sets the stage with a clear statement of vision, a brief overview of what a comprehensive is supposed to be, and a presentation of facts that provide a community profile. Preface Chapter 1: Vision and Comprehensive Plan Overview Chapter 2: Fredericksburg: A Community Profile 1 Preface Fredericksburg, Virginia, December 2014 This Comprehensive Plan has been prepared to guide decision making. It is to be used to help the City of Fredericksburg move forward in a manner that embraces local values and achieves the City’s vision for itself. The Fredericksburg City Council adopted its last comprehensive plan in 2007. A year later, the nation experienced a severe economic downturn that had a tremendous impact on the available revenues that are used to cover local government costs. The local real estate market dropped, although not as significantly as it did in some parts of the country, due to the City’s favorable location as a part of the Northern Virginia/Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Still, some area housing lost value and many local businesses are still trying to recover. At this time, the City is beginning to see renewed investment in the community and this revised Plan renews the City’s policies to guide the anticipated growth.
