The City of Medford
began a comprehensive plan process to help shape the future of the city, its neighborhoods, connections, and businesses.
Running through 2022, the plan established a community vision, goals, and recommendations for the future of the city, its residents, and its visitors.
Planning is an ongoing process. Check back OFTEN for news, announcements, events, and opportunities for participation!
THANK YOU to everyone who participated in an event, shared ideas, or reviewed the draft Plan.
The updated and adopted Medford Comprehensive Plan is available for viewing here!
