The Plan Troy 2040 Master Plan helps guide city progress, influence policy decisions, ensure a successful future, and is critical for sustainable community growth. The Master Plan addresses Land Use, Economic Development, Transportation, Special Area Use, and Infrastructure. 

The 2024 update to the Master Plan focuses on neighborhood nodes. Neighborhood nodes are connected areas in specific locations around the city that have a mix of residential, commercial, or institutional buildings, such as shopping centers, libraries, and medium to high-density residential. 

There were six walking tours, and a survey to seek resident and stakeholder input. Nine major overall takeaways from the input guided the vision for these nodes.  The update evaluates the intent of each specific neighborhood mode, reviewed each individual neighborhood node, and provided design concepts that best portray the vision for each neighborhood node.
