Friendswood staff and consultants open focus-group work for comprehensive plan update
Summary
City staff introduced a series of focus-group sessions with consultants from Dura Group to begin updating Friendswood's comprehensive plan (currently dated 1998), emphasizing broad outreach and public input.
At a Friendswood City meeting, staff and consultants opened a focus-group session aimed at updating the city's comprehensive plan.
A staff member told attendees the city is "in the process of updating our comprehensive plan," and said staff and consultants will reach out to a wide variety of groups to gather input on the document that will guide future land-use and policy decisions. The staff member noted the existing plan on the books dates to 1998 and that only select sections have been updated since then.
The presentation framed the effort as a multi-step outreach and update process: staff will host workshops and focus groups, gather public feedback, and bring the consultant team's findings back to city leadership for consideration. The staff member said a presenter named Krishna would provide further details later in the meeting.
The meeting proceeded with routine business after the presentation; the chair noted consultants from Dura Group will be working with the city to collect input about priorities and future land-use choices.
Next steps discussed were continued public engagement through workshops and targeted outreach; staff did not announce specific dates or a final timeline during this session.
