Planning with Heart for Those Who Make Smithville Home

The City of Smithville is pleased to present the Preliminary Draft Final Resilient Communities Comprehensive Plan—the near-complete version of a community-driven vision for Smithville’s future.

Over the past year, residents, business owners, and local partners have shared ideas, priorities, and feedback through workshops, surveys, and public meetings. This draft reflects that collective input and represents the final stage before plan adoption. Your review now will help ensure the plan captures what matters most to Smithville.

Organized into sections—Community, Land Use, Infrastructure, Transportation, and Implementation Strategy—the plan outlines strategies to support Smithville’s growth, resilience, and small-town charm for years to come.

You can explore the plan sections in the windows below. Please leave comments, suggestions, or questions directly within the document by clicking and adding a marker, or use the top navigation bar to review each section individually.

Your feedback at this stage is essential as we move toward the final plan presentation and adoption.

Let’s build a stronger, more resilient, and connected Smithville—together.
