Northeast Planning District
Project Overview
This page contains basic information about the Northeast Planning District including geography, jurisdictions, background, and objectives.
Project Steps and Timelines
The Collaborative Northeast District Plan (“the Plan”) will base its approach on an Equity Framework Model driven by data and guided by the community. The Equity Framework's guiding principles include authentic community engagement, research, and data-driven decisions.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is key to the success of the Northeast District Plan, and we hope to reach all who visit, live, and work in the area. This page outlines some of the ways community engagement is built into the planning process. As opportunities arise, we encourage you to share your input to help shape the Plan!
City and County Powers
In Texas, cities and counties have different powers given to them by the Texas Constitution and the Texas Legislature. Home-rule municipalities like the City of Austin have broad powers within their city limits. Counties have more limited powers.
