2022-2026 Community Sustainability Plan

The City of Hyattsville is updating the next Community Sustainability Plan 2022-2026, which will reflect the new goals and vision for the community.

What is a Community Sustainability Plan?

A community sustainability plan is a 5-year strategic plan crafted with community members and stakeholders to mark and realize sustainability objectives within the City. In this context, “sustainability” encompasses a broad spectrum of social, environmental, economic, and cultural issues to ensure the City’s survival and success. Community sustainability plans are used by the City to set goals for action and chart progress. The last plan can be found here or in the side tab to your left.
