The City of Blanco, Texas, is updating the Comprehensive Master Plan for our community, and we’re inviting all city residents to help us craft this important, forward-vision document. What do we want Blanco to be in the next five to ten years? What would could enhance our quality of life? What are your priorities, a vital business environment, parks, local walk-ability, a Community Recreation Center?
This initiative seeks to engage all community organizations, committees, and stakeholders — inviting, educating, and equipping them to discuss, articulate, and resolve shared ideals, dreams, and practical solutions. Together, we will ensure Blanco’s best possible future, built with cooperation, forward-thinking leadership, and strong community involvement.
