Several years ago, Longview’s leaders asked the community to come together to create a roadmap for the city’s future. Now leaders are asking the community to weigh in once again as they seek to refresh a long-range planning document that will continue to guide the city for years to come.
Since being adopted in 2015, Longview’s Comprehensive Plan has served as a guiding document that has helped shape the city as it is today. From park improvements and upgrades to public facilities to new entryway beautification projects and a thriving downtown, the city has used the Comprehensive Plan to help guide its decisions in an overall effort to improve the quality of life for its residents.

On what was once a plain brick wall, a young woman can now be seen holding a dandelion and blowing its petals into the wind. In the breeze, the petals transform into music notes that may leave viewers thinking about their favorite song. The mural called Spring Melody has transformed a simple wall in downtown Longview into a work of art. It is one of many projects completed in 2021 by Arts!Longview, which is striving to enhance the visibility of the city’s Cultural District.
