What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A comprehensive plan is Wytheville's strategic roadmap for the next 20 years. It guides where homes and businesses should go, what infrastructure to invest in, and how to preserve what makes our community special while enabling thoughtful growth. This plan is being developed with extensive community input and will be officially adopted by the Town Council by late 2029.
