The Alexandria West plan area is home to a multicultural, multilingual community, a diversity of businesses and institutions, and community organizations representing diverse stakeholders and neighborhoods. The planning process implements current best practices to engage all parts of the community in ways that reduce barriers to participation and provide equitable opportunities for community members to participate – ensuring that all voices are included and heard. 

In preparing to launch the planning process, the City reviewed several participation strategies, including an advisory group, to ensure an equitable and inclusive process. The City determined that a variety of in-person and online strategies would best serve this need, including meetings and pop-ups in multiple languages at a variety of times and locations throughout the Plan area. With this approach, all members of the community are invited to participate, discuss, and collaborate on a shared vision for the future by participating in the range of options that work best for them.  

All engagement materials and feedback will be posted to the project website and shared with the community. In addition to engaging individual stakeholders through the options discussed above, Staff is also contacting all civic, business, non-profit and community organizations and agencies to gather feedback and guidance. To request a meeting, information, provide suggestions or be placed on our distribution list, please contact José DelCid at jose.delcid@alexandriava.gov.

City Council’s FY 2023 Long-Range Planning Interdepartmental Work Program prioritized this community planning process to update the long-term vision for the 1992 Alexandria West Small Area Plan and integrate the 2012 Beauregard Small Area Plan. Creating an updated community vision for the future allows us to proactively plan for change and prepare for challenges and opportunities in the years to come.
