The current Master Plan was adopted in 2005. Hagåtña has seen varying growth and change during the last decade that will need to be captured in the Master Plan Update to provide a more accurate vision of where Hagåtña will go in the next 20 years. The Master Plan will be updated to include current information on demographics, redevelopment areas, economic trends, and transportation corridors. In particular, the Master Plan will include updated information on:
- Changes to demographics and economic trends
- the construction of the Guam Museum and other major projects identified in the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) / Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs)
- the Hagåtña Planned Development District (PDD) and its’ associated overlays
- construction of additional parks and recreation space
- revitalization of major transportation corridors and streetscapes
- construction of parking and alternative transportation facilities / infrastructure
- shoreline protection / recovery and enhancement controls and regulations
- the revitalization of Plasa de Espana and the Heritage Trail
- the potential feasibility and incorporation of the Hagåtña River Walk and River Channeling
- the potential redevelopment at Paseo de Susana and Chamorro Hagåtña
- the potential redevelopment of the Marina and the Treatment Plant
For all information related to the Master Plan Update, residents are encouraged to visit the project website at www.hagatnamasterplan.com. You can sign up for electronic notifications, participate in online surveys, and review all relevant documents and presentations about the Update. You can also visit the HRRA website at: http://hrra.guam.gov/. HRRA and Matrix will also be working closely with local news media, community groups and faith-based organizations to get information to residents.
There will also be a series of Alternative Plans Charrettes and Public Workshops, which will give people a chance to work with GEDA and HRRA planners and our consultant team in the development of the Master Plan Update. GEDA and HRRA’s goal is to engage as many residents, business owners and stakeholders as possible to ensure that the Plan reflects the vision of the entire community.
