Provide Your Feedback: The Tomorrow Plan


Greater Des Moines recently has been named the Best Place for Young Professionals, Best Place to Raise a Family, and among the Best Mid-Sized Cities for Jobs. These are just a few of many indicators that the region is doing well right now. But the area will face serious challenges in the future with economic competitiveness, social equity, environmental resilience, and a tight fiscal environment. The question, then, is how will the Greater Des Moines region respond to these challenges to ensure the long-term health and vitality of the region?

The Tomorrow Plan is a regional planning effort to engage the community in envisioning how the future of the Greater Des Moines region might play out over the next forty years. The 20-month planning process began in July 2011 and, when complete, will provide a comprehensive framework for future development. A major goal of The Tomorrow Plan is to engage a wide range of people in meaningful public participation to ensure that the region's future reflects the values and aspirations of its residents.
