Vision & Goals

The City of Morgantown is a vibrant, thriving community rooted in our heritage, and flourishing in opportunities for citizens of all ages who take pride in themselves and in their community.

Morgantown Comprehensive Plan

The comprehensive plan is a policy guide for decisions concerning the physical development in Morgantown, that looks at Morgantown over a twenty year period.

It is a vision of what the community wants to look like in the future and provides the framework for orderly growth and development to achieve that vision. The plan must be updated every five years the community has the opportunity to review and reconsider the direction of the plan.
