Albemarle County’s Planning Division is leading an update of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. This plan will set priorities and serve as a guide for future physical development of Albemarle County.  

This Comprehensive Plan update is an opportunity to incorporate our community’s recent work, better understand the diverse, lived experiences of Albemarle County community members, and plan for an equitable and resilient future. 

Why update the Plan?  

Comprehensive Plans typically outline a vision for a 20-year planning horizon, with periodic updates required by State Code. 

Updates to the Comp Plan offer the opportunity to integrate new plans and policies, and to plan for future growth and demands for infrastructure and services. Since the latest Comprehensive Plan update in 2015, Albemarle County has grown and changed. Several new plans and policies have been adopted by the County (including the Climate Action Plan and the Affordable Housing Policy). Additionally, the Board of Supervisors affirmed Albemarle County's commitment to equity and inclusion with the Resolution in Support of an Equitable and Inclusive Community.

Since 2015, approximately 4,000 new dwelling units have been built and our community’s median household income and median home values continue to rise. This growth, however, has not been experienced evenly across the County, with quality-of-life outcomes that differ depending on where you live in Albemarle County. Read the Albemarle County Equity Profile to learn more.

Why is it called AC44?  

This name celebrates the shared future that we will be working to shape by the year 2044.
