The city of Sachse is continuing discussions regarding the new comprehensive plan. During a recent meeting, Community Development Director Dusty McAfee explained that the plan will focus on specific areas of need with a methodology that involves meaningful public engagement and an expedited timeline.

McAfee said the plan consultant will utilize a variety of approaches, mediums, and tools to survey the community, including, but not limited to maintaining active social media, attendance at special events, town hall meetings, presentations to boards and commissions, and other innovative techniques to ensure quality and comprehensive public outreach and involvement from the community, that all plan components are coordinated, and that the final document uniquely reflects Sachse.
