Thank you, Tucson."
The updated plan addresses 14 main goals and nearly 200 policies, including:
- Inclusive, transparent, and equitable city governance
- Housing affordability and workforce stability
- High-quality transportation choices and infrastructure improvements
- Climate resilience and environmental conservation
- Economic development and job creation
- Water resource management
- Public safety and community wellness

With voter approval secured, the City will now move forward with implementing the goals and policies outlined in Plan Tucson 2025. The plan will guide city decision-making, budgeting, and strategic investments over the next decade.
“We’re grateful to Tucson voters for their support in ratifying Plan Tucson 2025, and to the thousands of Tucsonans who shared their feedback, ideas, and aspirations for our community throughout the process," said Koren Manning, Planning and Development Services Director. "This plan reflects years of listening, learning, and collaboration to shape a vision for our city’s future. Plan Tucson 2025 captures Tucson’s shared vision for a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected future, and we’re excited to carry that vision forward together.”
BACKGROUND
Arizona state law requires cities to adopt and update their general plans every 10 years and submit them to voters for ratification. Plan Tucson 2025 fulfills this requirement and establishes a framework for how the city will grow and serve its residents through 2035, with a review cycle every 10 years.
