development, infrastructure and public facility needs, housing, economic
development and historic preservation, addressing a 15 year planning horizon.
The plan emphasizes specific implementation activities. Included in the public
input process for the plan were a comprehensive neighborhood survey and a
year -long series of public meetings. The Bessemer Association for
Neighborhood Development has endorsed the Plan.
The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-0 on July 14, 2004 to adopt the
plan.
