Engagement Summary

A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Journey to Destination WG Community Workshop and shared your ideas through the online survey!

The Planning Team has compiled an Engagement Summary packed with your incredible input from the visioning outreach.

Welcome to the Webster Groves Comprehensive Plan Website!

Webster Groves’ current Comprehensive Plan was completed in 1978 and now it’s time to embark on a new Journey to Destination WG - the City’s updated Comprehensive Plan.

The Webster Groves Comprehensive Plan will serve as a guiding document for growth and development, encompassing all facets of our community, from neighborhoods & housing to placemaking & the downtown districts, as well as economic vitality and sustainability. Our end goal is to establish a community-led vision for the future of Webster Groves.

This website serves as a central hub of community resources related to comprehensive planning. Sign up below to receive project updates!

How to Join the Journey

A plan only succeeds when our community is engaged and empowered. Webster Groves’ vision evolves into reality through the contribution of every citizen and stakeholder. Your effort and collaboration are what will bring our plan to fruition as an embodiment of our shared aspirations.

The Journey to Destination WG Comprehensive Plan is more than a document; it will stand as a testament to our commitment to sculpt a future that mirrors our collective vision. Together, we are laying the foundation for a Webster Groves that honors its past while charting a course toward an even more promising future.

The Destination Ambassadors, a committee of residents, institutional leaders, and key community stakeholders, are an essential part of the Webster Groves Comprehensive Plan. Members serve as “outreach ambassadors”, helping the planning process to reach as many sectors of the community as possible, and as an internal sounding board, reviewing project progress. Their collaborative participation ensures the plan reflects the city’s aspirations and incorporates a broad spectrum of insights. If you’d like to send the Ambassadors a comment or question, fill out the comment form below.
