Neighborhood Planning

The City of Irving's Neighborhood Planning initiative is a grassroots outreach effort to neighborhood communities designed to help residents achieve their desired future for their community.

If you and your neighbors are interested in forming a Neighborhood Association, please call the call the Communications Department at (972) 721-7600 for guidance on getting your group started and connected.  

Once your Neighborhood Group is organized, the Planning and Zoning team will be eager to assist you in describing your neighborhood's vision for its future and so your neighborhood's goals can be better incorporated into the City's long range plans.
