Alameda's General Plan
The 2040 Alameda General Plan is a statement of community goals, objectives, policies, and actions to guide our island community in the challenges facing us today and in the future. Thanks to the work of over 1,700 community members and over 25 community organizations, the Alameda General Plan 2040 was adopted by the City Council on November 30, 2021. We appreciate your input and feedback! Download the City's General Plan here.
