The Stephenville Comprehensive Plan was last approved in 2008. The plan is a policy document used by city leaders, developers, business owners, and citizens to make decisions about how Stephenville will grow and develop in the future. Specifically, the plan establishes a vision and goals for the future, develops a future land use and thoroughfare plan map to direct growth, and identifies the actions that need to be taken to implement the city’s vision for the future. Information and input gathered during this all day event will help to form the foundation of the Stephenville Comprehensive Plan vision and goals.
