2010 Comprehensive Plan
What is the EAR?
Every seven years, state law requires the City of Jacksonville to review and evaluate its Comprehensive Plan. This is called the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, or the EAR. The purpose of this planning process is to update the Comprehensive Plan and to assess our progress in implementing the Plan. This process is underway in order to meet the deadline for adoption of the EAR by October 2007. Recommendations from the EAR will be used to form the transition of the 2010 Comprehensive Plan into a plan that will address the future, the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. As a draft or drafts of the EAR document become available, they will be posted below.
One of the early steps in the planning process for the EAR is obtaining public input into the most important local issues affecting our community. A citywide visioning effort, Blueprint for Prosperity, provided a foundation for the EAR and many of the local issues to be reviewed in the EAR came from that process. You will find more information regarding Blueprint for Prosperity at the following link:
