Project Overview

Elevate Goldsboro is our chance to take a fresh look at our city's future.

As a comprehensive plan, it considers specific actions that can better align growth and development with local values curated through community conversations. The planning process lets the community…

Work collaboratively to IMAGINE an ideal future,

Express a PLAN to achieve that future, and

Create a strategy upon which the city can ACT in the years to come.

A key piece of the plan will be the Future Land Use Map, which will guide future growth and development. A series of framework elements will support the land use strategy. These framework elements will touch on topics such as:

  • Transportation + Mobility
  • Economic Development
  • Housing
  • Infrastructure + Public Services
  • Recreation + Trails
  • Natural Resources + Environmental

Get Involved!

If the homeless in the area have skills that can benefit the town and can "get cleaned up" then they can help the town by filling roles

Goldsboro can most certainly benefit from an expanded nightlife element,It would also help if the homeless can get a place to stay and a job

Property owners need to be held accountable for the abandoned homes they own. Fix them & rent them or tear them down and rebuild.

There are far too many abandoned houses and the owners of those properties need to tear down and rebuild.

We need to fix our streets in the city limits. The patch jobs are only temporary. We received grant money for that purpose.

Repainting the street lines with reflective paint, when the pavement is wet, the lines often become difficult to see due to poor lighting.

Please address safety concerns within our community. One critical issue is the frequent street flooding that occurs in non-flood zone areas.
