Downtown Master Planning
Harrisonburg's first downtown master planning process
Downtown 2040 had a great turnout this summer at the July pop-up events designed to welcome the whole community into the planning process. We’ve learned a lot about your ideas and priorities for growth, change, and preservation.
If you missed the summer events, it’s not too late to participate! Take the survey at https://www.harrisonburgva.gov/downtown-2040 to answer the same questions posed at the pop-ups!
