City of Duncanville Comprehensive Plan
WELCOME
Welcome! In the fall of 2024, the City of Duncanville commenced the process of updating its comprehensive plan. A comprehensive plan is a document that will guide future decision-making on land use, capital investments, economic development, community building, and more in the city over the next 20 years.
The City's prior comprehensive plan was adopted in 2017. Now almost 8 years old, it is time for an update to ensure the City's plan is reflective of the current conditions and needs of the community.
This webpage will be the center for all information relating to the planning process including project updates, opportunities for public engagement, and draft plan elements.
Be a part of the Duncanville comprehensive planning process! Check back here for regular updates.

Update
The comprehensive plan is being led by a steering committee of residents, local business owners, City staff, and elected officials, who will utilize their knowledge of the Duncanville community to guide the planning process. In partnership with the Consultant Team, MRB Group, the steering committee will develop a comprehensive plan to advance Duncanville towards the future. The steering committee kicked off the planning process in September. The Kick-Off meeting included a review of the planning timeline and initial discussions on public engagement. Check base soon for more information on the City's public engagement plan and planning process timeline.

Update
The City is pleased to announce the launch of the comprehensive plan website (https://duncanvillecompplan.com), which will house a wide range of information on the plan, including draft reports, meeting notes, and announcements of upcoming events. To kick off the public engagement strategy, the steering committee is developing a communitywide survey, and a survey targeting high school seniors to gather input on community priorities for the planning process. More information about the surveys will be available soon. In the meantime, mark your calendars for the first public workshop for the planning process set to be held on December 2nd from 6p to 8p at the Duncanville Fieldhouse. All are encouraged to drop in anytime during the workshop to share your views on Duncanville’s challenges and opportunities.
