City of Amarillo, TX
Home MenuNeighborhood Planning Initiative
This initiative was created through an interlocal agreement in 2016 by the City and Potter County to help revitalize some of Amarillo’s older neighborhoods through the development of area-specific plans. Throughout the planning process, the City and neighborhoods collaborate to identify concerns, opportunities, a vision, goals, and project priorities. Completed plans are adopted as amendments to the Amarillo Comprehensive Plan and neighborhood planning staff continue to assist neighborhood associations with project implementation after adoption. The four participating neighborhoods are North Heights, Barrio, San Jacinto, and Eastridge.
In Amarillo, neighborhood associations play an important role in the Neighborhood Planning Initiative by overseeing implementation of the adopted plans. By meeting certain organizational criteria, they become recognized by the City of Amarillo as the official partner for plan implementation. Known as the Recognized Neighborhood Association Program, the partnership ensures a mutual commitment to the neighborhood plan goals. Other neighborhoods may also become Recognized provided they meet the eligibility criteria.

Projects in Motion
"Projects in Motion" are actively being implemented in the neighborhood plan areas. While the adopted plans have long timeframes for implementation, identifying the top Projects in Motion each year provides a reference-able strategy for tracking progress.
This map shows all current and completed priority projects that further the goals of the respective plans. Projects developed with some amount of public funds are identified on the map. It also includes neighborhood association projects that may not be funded through public sources. Scroll down to see projects in table format.
