General Plan
 The General Plan is a vision of the community’s development and serves as a blueprint for the future. It provides an overall assessment of the demographic, socioeconomic, ecological, and physical conditions, both past and present, that characterize the City of Williams and its sphere of influence (SOI). These factors serve as a foundation for decision-making by identifying opportunities and constraints for growth and development, which has trickle-down impacts on the overall community system. The Plan incorporates seven State mandated elements ranging from transportation infrastructure and public utility systems to parks and recreation facilities. Information from the Plan feeds into a spectrum of short- and long-term planning goals that are associated with recommendations and action items of this Plan. This Plan will influence how the City operates on a day-today basis, but the broader intention is to serve as a resource for advance planning. It will help guide community development in an environmentally and fiscally sustainable manner, with respect to Williams’ identity, regional context, and historic tradition.”
The City’s current General Plan was adopted in 1988 and includes the seven mandated elements and an overall Land Use Map (refer to this plan in the links below). The City is in the process of updating the Plan and has included a number of links to the Draft Plan.
