Comprehensive Plan

Final Comprehensive Plan

What is the Comprehensive Plan?

Titled “Bristol Becomes,” the City’s first-ever Comprehensive Plan is the result of a process that began with a look at current conditions in Bristol and an inventory of community efforts already underway.  Additional information was gathered through public surveys, focus groups, and a series of workshops that brought City leaders and community members together to describe the Bristol they would like to achieve in future decades.

The result is a 158-page plan that gained the approval of the Bristol, Tennessee Planning Commission in June, 2020 and was adopted by City Council in August, 2020.
