Grow Smart Henrico is dedicated to fostering sustainable development, equity, and community resilience across our county. We advocate for infill development, multimodal transportation options, and walkable communities, while safeguarding open spaces and agricultural lands from unchecked sprawl. At the heart of our mission are vibrant community groups actively shaping our community's evolution and championing public involvement in local planning.

We collaborate with an informed business community committed to enhancing community well-being through smarter growth strategies, including initiatives for affordable housing and equity. Emphasizing reinvestment in infrastructure and preserving natural landscapes, we promote integrated land use and transportation solutions that prioritize equity and benefit all residents. Central to our vision is environmental stewardship, advocating for decision-making that considers climate change impacts, aiming to reduce pollution and protect vulnerable populations. Grow Smart Henrico envisions a future where sustainable development and community resilience create thriving, inclusive, and environmentally responsible communities with accessible affordable housing and equitable opportunities for generations to come.
