The Peoria General Plan 2040 reflects the aspirational vision and goals of the community, and is the overarching policy document used by the City to guide Peoria’s future decisions relative to land use, public services, infrastructure and resource management. 

The Plan also provides a clear and defined implementation program to achieve the shared community vision for Peoria’s future. However, the General Plan is not intended to be a static document; rather, the Plan specifically directs staff to continually re-examine the Plan, and when appropriate, make refinements when they would enable the Plan to better respond to the changing dynamics, economic conditions, trends, and associated growth within the City.  

The last comprehensive amendment to the General Plan was ratified by the voters in November 2020, and certified by the City Council in December 2020.  Since then, evolving economic factors and dynamic shifts in conditions make it appropriate to take a renewed look at the Plan to ensure it’s best positioned to meet Peoria’s future potential. In this manner, the Peoria City Council has identified four priority areas to continue advancing Peoria forward:

•  Economic Development, 
•  Water Security, 
•  Innovative Government; and 
•  Public Safety.

Looking through this lens, the city is aggressively pursuing opportunities and strategies to promote a thriving, balanced and dynamic economy, which can capitalize on the City’s strengths, and supports local job growth and economic expansion.
