Building Arlington’s Future: A Dynamic Team Crafts the City’s Next Chapter
The City of Arlington, Texas, has embarked on a transformative journey to update its Comprehensive Plan, setting the stage for future growth and development. The City has engaged the nationally acclaimed MIG, Inc., to lead this two-year project, leveraging their expertise in community-centered planning and their recognition as recipients of the 2023 Daniel Burnham Comprehensive Plan of the Year.
This ambitious initiative will also benefit from NEOO Partners’ strategic insights, with the firm providing market readiness studies and economic and fiscal impact analyses. NEOO’s contribution ensures the plan is anchored in actionable, data-driven strategies for sustainable development. Alysia Davis Osborne, AICP, a prominent leader at NEOO Partners, brings invaluable experience from her role as project manager for the City of Charlotte’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan, further enriching the collaboration. Her expertise creates a seamless bridge between visionary planning in Arlington and innovative approaches championed in Charlotte.
NEOO Partners’ involvement in Arlington builds on their proven track record in West Dallas, where they recently collaborated with local leaders to implement the West Dallas Vision Plan. This initiative addressed critical community challenges, including housing affordability, environmental health, and economic empowerment, by integrating robust community engagement and data-informed strategies. The lessons learned in West Dallas inform and elevate NEOO’s approach in Arlington, ensuring alignment with local priorities and aspirations.
Together, MIG, NEOO, and the City of Arlington will work with residents, City Council, and the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee to create a blueprint for the city’s future. This updated plan will prioritize essential areas such as land use, policy alignment with the Unified Development Code, and the integration of long-range plans, ensuring a vibrant and equitable future for Arlington.
