Title
Discuss economic development elements for the Aspire Pflugerville 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Summary
A comprehensive plan is a document created through a process of community engagement, which determines community goals and aspirations that are utilized by the City of Pflugerville to express public policy initiatives regarding land use, community character, parks and recreation, neighborhood vitality, economic development, transportation, utilities, community facilities and public service.
