Bentonville Residents Invited to Shape City’s Future through Plan Bentonville

Bentonville is actively engaging its residents to help shape the future of the city through the Plan Bentonville initiative. As part of this collaborative effort, the city is hosting a series of community engagement events designed to gather input on how Bentonville should grow and develop.

Community Involvement Opportunities

Residents can participate in various ways, including attending open houses, pop-up events, and office hours where they can interact directly with city planners. These events are scheduled throughout the city, offering flexibility for those who want to contribute their thoughts. A key feature of this initiative is the interactive online dashboard, which allows residents to explore different place types on the Future Land Use Map and provide feedback through surveys.

Why It Matters

The city is focusing on a more nuanced approach to land planning, aiming to preserve Bentonville’s natural assets while accommodating population growth. By involving the community in these discussions, the city hopes to ensure that development aligns with the character and values that residents hold dear.
