BELMONT, NC – The City of Belmont has launched a Comprehensive Land Use Plan update, a pivotal initiative aimed at shaping the future of our beloved community. With a commitment to transparency and community engagement, the city invites all residents to participate and share their valuable feedback in this vital process.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan serves as a roadmap guiding the growth and development of Belmont for years to come. As our city evolves, it is essential to ensure that this plan reflects the aspirations and needs of our diverse population. That’s why we’re calling upon each resident to join us in this collaborative effort.
“We recognize the importance of involving our residents in decisions that impact the future of our city,” said Planning and Zoning Director Tiffany Faro. “Resident input is invaluable as we work to create a vision that reflects the values and aspirations of the Belmont community.”
The update process will incorporate extensive public engagement opportunities, including community workshops, surveys, and interactive maps. Residents are encouraged to visit www.ourbelmont.org to access project information, provide feedback, and stay informed about upcoming events.
“At the heart of this process is community input,” emphasized Mayor Pro Tem Jim Hefferan. “We want to hear from you—your ideas, concerns, and vision for Belmont’s future will shape the decisions we make.”
Belmont is taking an innovative approach to comprehensive planning efforts with this update, focusing not only on land use, but also the supporting transportation and infrastructure networks needed for the community’s future vision. Other key areas of focus for the Comprehensive Land Use Plan update include housing, mobility, economic development, open space, shoreline uses, and more. By engaging residents at every step, the city aims to develop a plan that reflects the values and priorities of our vibrant community.
Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for upcoming engagement opportunities and to spread the word to neighbors and friends. Together, we can create a Comprehensive Land Use Plan that reflects the collective vision of Belmont’s residents.
