Comprehensive Plan Citizen Advisory Committee

THE COMMITTEE

The Comprehensive Plan Citizen Advisory Committee (CPCAC) is a team representing the residents, businesses, neighborhoods, community organizations, educational institutions, and other stakeholders in Newport News.

Meetings

Committee meetings are open to the public; however, meetings do not allow time for public comment.  Instead, comment cards will be provided at each meeting to capture questions, comments, and ideas for CPCAC consideration.
     
Staff is working on a schedule to present the draft plan to the community this summer.  One meeting will be scheduled in each Council voting district.
