What is Plan Hamilton?
Plan Hamilton is a comprehensive plan to guide the development of the city for the next fifteen years. Set forth in 2019, this is a living plan that is updated every five years to reflect input from those, like yourself, who have a stake in Hamilton’s future. After significant engagement with the community and feedback from a public survey done in late 2023, Plan Hamilton’s 2024 Update seeks to address the changing needs and priorities of the Hamilton community. The 2024 Updates are reflected throughout this site.
