What is Salem's vision for the future?
How do we want Salem to grow and develop? What goals do we have? How can we improve our community?
The City is in the midst of a multi-year project to update the Salem Area Comprehensive Plan, which guides development in the Salem area. This is a big project, so it has been broken into phases.
The City has wrapped up the first phase and is now conducting community-wide visioning. Since the summer of 2019, City staff has been out and about, talking to the community about future growth and development in Salem. What thoughts, concerns, and ideas do you have for the future?
The City expects to engage the community in a variety of ways, including public workshops, outreach at community events, stakeholder interviews, surveys, and more.

Geer Park Updates
The City of Salem is also preparing to add new uses and facilities to undeveloped areas of Geer Park, a 44-acre community park located at 241 Geer Drive NE. As a first step, we are updating the park master plan.
