Share your plan for Henrico's future

State of play: Dubbed HenricoNext, the new plan is the county's first update to its long-term Comprehensive Plan since 2009.

• Like the last one, HenricoNext will define where the county is today and sketch plans for boring, but necessary future infrastructure, like sewer pumps and cell towers, plus future fun stuff, like parks and splash pads.
• The new plan, though, will add a focus on future pedestrian and bicycle facilities, per the county.

Zoom in: Want to see more trees in your neighborhood? What about sidewalks? Wish there was more development in Short Pump?

• This is the survey for you.

Worth noting: The county started the new planning process in 2022, but is re-upping its resident survey now ahead of public engagement it wants to begin later this summer.

• Also, Henrico's 2022 circulation of the survey garnered around 670 responses, primarily from residents 55 and older and white, according to the survey summary.
• Improving stormwater drainage was identified as the most important issue the county should focus on in the those responses.

So if you have other other thoughts on Henrico's most important issues, the survey will be open until the end of July.
