Live Grow Thrive 2045: Tampa Comprehensive Plan Update
video produced by the City of Tampa
About
By 2045, Tampa will see over 108,000 more residents, 77,000 new homes, and 258,000 new jobs within the City limits. Together, we can turn the challenges that come with growth into opportunities for a thriving future. It’s time to update the City of Tampa’s Comprehensive Plan through 2045. As part of the update, the community’s input lays the foundation for a vision of Tampa’s future.
The Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission, in coordination with the City Planning Department, is overseeing a multi-phased, multi-year plan update that will lead to in-depth revisions to the Tampa Comprehensive Plan through the 2045 horizon year.

Vision Statement and Themes
Through the Comprehensive Plan Vision Survey, open from February to June 2022, the public shared what they felt were the most important areas for the plan to address. After analyzing the community’s input, these vision ideas were redefined into an overarching Vision Statement and Vision Themes.
Adopted by Tampa City Council at their July 28, 2022 meeting, the Vision will serve to provide a framework for each Section of the Tampa Comprehensive Plan.
