Big-city assets, hometown character.
Adopted in 2021, the Anna 2050 Comprehensive Plan set a clear vision: a diverse, vibrant community where neighbors of all ages, races, and abilities find the homes, jobs, and amenities they need to thrive.
The city wrote down who it wants to be — before the growth decided for it.
Visionary, principled
Vibrant. Safe. Neighborly. Unique. Active. Resilient. Excellent.
A companion Strategic Plan organized the vision into seven outcome areas, giving every decision — budgets, zoning, capital projects — a common yardstick.
A shared scorecard keeps a fast-growing city honest.
Structured, reassuring
A population racing toward 100,000.
Anna is projected to reach 100,000 residents by 2050. That pace demanded the plan evolve rather than sit on a shelf.
The plan is a living tool because the growth won't wait.
Urgent, candid
Updated for the growth that's actually here.
In 2024 the city engaged consultants to amend the Future Land Use Plan and PlaceTypes; the update — along with the Master Thoroughfare Plan — was finalized in March 2025 to keep land use aligned with real demand.
A disciplined update keeps policy in step with reality.
Adaptive, diligent
From vision to shovels.
Downtown and parks & trails master plans, plus financing tools like PIDs and TIRZs, translate the vision into funded projects — the mechanisms that turn a plan into a place.
A plan is only as good as the tools that build it — and Anna has them.
Practical, confident
