Public Survey Now Live on PlanJonesboro.com

Public encouraged to share input through online survey and interactive map

JONESBORO, AR – As Jonesboro plans for the next 30 years, city leaders are inviting residents to help shape next steps through Plan Jonesboro. A public survey and interactive map are now live at PlanJonesboro.com, giving the community an opportunity to guide the city’s future.

“This comprehensive plan is a foundational step in our Destination 100k initiative,” stated Mayor Harold Copenhaver. “In order to be serious about preparing Jonesboro to be a city of 100,000 residents, we must plan intentionally today. Growth will happen. It is happening – and our responsibility is to ensure it happens in a way that strengthens neighborhoods and positions us for the future. Destination 100k is not about reaching a number; it’s about building a stronger, smarter city for the generations coming behind us.”

Plan Jonesboro, the City’s new comprehensive plan, will help guide growth over the next three decades – shaping development patterns, streets, parks, infrastructure, and overall quality of life. Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts early in the process, prior to key decisions being made.

The online survey allows participants to highlight what they value most and what the city should prioritize moving forward. The interactive map gives residents a chance to comment on specific locations across Jonesboro, identifying areas for improvement, investment, or preservation. Both tools are available at PlanJonesboro.com.

“Community input is essential to ensuring this plan reflects the priorities of the people who live and work here,” Mayor Copenhaver added. “We want to hear from as many residents as possible, so the plan is grounded in local experience and shared goals.”

Community input will guide the planning process throughout the year. A public open house kickoff was held on February 12, and additional public meetings are planned, including a multi-day workshop and open houses March 30 through April 3. Feedback received through April 3 will directly shape phase one of Plan Jonesboro. To learn more and help shape the future of Jonesboro, visit PlanJonesboro.com.
