The City of New Braunfels has begun the process of updating its master policy document, Envision New Braunfels, which guides the city’s planning efforts. This update follows recent changes in state law and requirements outlined in the City Charter. A review of the current plan has shown that many of its objectives have been met or are close to completion, prompting the need to revise the city’s long-term vision and strategies.
According to the City of New Braunfels, in line with its commitment to public involvement, the city is inviting residents to share their perspectives on the future of New Braunfels. A five-minute questionnaire, available in both English and Spanish, offers a direct way for locals to influence the city’s goals, priorities, and direction. Christopher Looney, Director of Neighborhood & Community Planning, highlighted the importance of community input, stating, "This is just the first of several opportunities for the community to participate in updating the Comprehensive Plan." He also mentioned that additional community engagement efforts, such as open houses and pop-up events, will be organized to gather wider public feedback.
More information on how to participate and stay updated can be found on the City of New Braunfels.
