The city of High Point is seeking public input as leaders make plans for long-term growth.

The city is offering an online survey for people who live or work in High Point to help guide decisions on development and investment. The questions are designed to take about 10 minutes to complete.

It’s part of the High Point 2045 Comprehensive Plan initiative, which started in February. It allows people a chance to weigh in on matters of public policy and future growth scenarios for at least the next 20 years.

Previous input was obtained through community open houses over the summer.

High Point’s first comprehensive plan was put together in 1928 and it’s been updated multiple times since.

The online survey will run through Oct. 8.
