Welcome to High Point 2045, a community-wide planning effort to create a stronger, more sustainable, and vibrant City.

Since the adoption of the City’s first comprehensive plan in 1928 it has
continued to produce comprehensive planning documents on a regular basis with plans being adopted in 1947, 1958, and every decade after that up to the City’s current land use plan, which was adopted in April 2000.

It’s time to renew the community’s vision and craft a plan to achieve that vision.
