Greetings Manor Residents,
I am very proud to present the City of Manor’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan to you all on behalf of the City Council. This is our first comprehensive master plan, which we commissioned in 2021. This comprehensive plan will be the tool that we utilize to operationalize our vision statement and guiding principles.
The focus areas of the comprehensive plan are Transportation, Infrastructure, Land Use, Library/Recreation/Parks, Economic Development, Community Branding, and more. We believe this plan will help the City of Manor transform into a livable, healthy, and economically vibrant community. It is important that we attract and retain young professionals and their families in our city, and this region. In addition to focusing on parks and recreation, community facilities, retail, and a library, we wanted to ensure the plan addresses transportation and mobility challenges. The proposed initiatives encourage the City to maintain and expand into effective partnerships with our county, state, and federal agencies, especially when it comes to sharing our planning information for funding sources to improve our critical transportation corridors throughout the city. Yes, this means focused attention on addressing US HWY 290 and FM 973.
The 2050 Comprehensive Plan provides a recommended physical layout for the city and is the necessary catalyst for purchasing land and creating facility plans to construct new Parks, Libraries, Recreational Facilities, Open Spaces, and revitalize Downtown Manor. As this comprehensive plan builds on current and sets up new initiatives, it is necessary to monitor and adjust based on our community’s growth and the increasing demand for city services. Moving forward we will focus on market potentials, capital improvements and project opportunities.
The planning consultants, Freese and Nichols, Inc., provided the city with guidance to staff and stakeholders with an implementation-focused plan approach.
Our efforts to identify sustainable strategies and community initiatives will be key to our success in seeing the comp plan achieve our goals and discover new opportunities to guide the city, developers/investors, citizens, and local government partners interested in establishing the City of Manor as an attractive place to live, work and play.
The 2050 Comprehensive Plan will be a useful development tool to help our organization establish key economic development strategies to expand our tax base and create jobs for the high-tech and manufacturing industries. Beyond the creation of new community initiatives and collaborations, the City of Manor’s annual
budgeting process will help us commit resources to those specific community development areas and projects to rally around and utilize the economy of scales opportunities with our community partner to set the course for physical development to take place over the next 10 years and beyond.
I am proud to see the 2050 Comprehensive Plan completed and will work in partnership with the City Council, community partners, and staff to embrace the opportunity for this plan to be our guiding tool to grow strategically and financially feasible over the next two decades. I am confident the City of Manor will be successful in implementing our goals and maintaining the close working relationships with our neighboring municipalities, educational and financial institutions, and
our state and federal legislators in becoming the model community of service and resiliency.
Always working to make the world a better place,
Dr. Christopher Harvey
