Over the next decade, Richmond will continue its focused path of building a stronger, more inclusive community – and the public is invited to help shape how this happens.
The City of Richmond has drafted a new 10-year Social Development Strategy to help guide the City and its partners to meet the community’s social needs – improving community well-being and helping residents reach their full potential. Multiple opportunities are available until Sunday, October 26, 2025 for residents and community partners to connect with staff and provide input that will help shape Richmond’s social priorities.
The public is encouraged to review the draft strategy and provide input, identify any gaps to ensure it reflects the community’s priorities and help build Richmond’s future together.
