The City of Bloomington is updating its comprehensive plan, Bloomington 2050, that will guide how the city grows, connects and thrives over the next 20 years. The community-driven process begins this spring with a community survey and a soon-to-be-announced community kickoff series. The Bloomington 2050 effort will continue through 2028.
The City updates its comprehensive plan every 10 years. Bloomington 2050 is the City’s long-term blueprint, shaping decisions about housing, transportation, land use, climate resilience, parks and open space and community infrastructure. This update comes at a pivotal moment. By 2050, Bloomington is expected to welcome around 13,000 new residents, bringing the population to more than 103,000. Planning now helps ensure growth is thoughtful, investments are smart and community priorities lead the way.
“This is more than a planning process,” said Planning Supervisor Dakota Kastenday. “It’s an invitation for the community to dream big and help shape our shared future.”
