The City of Ridgefield has been working through Envision Ridgefield 2045, a process to update Ridgefield’s Comprehensive Plan. As part of this process, we are planning for the economic development of our community.

Comprehensive plans are composed of multiple chapters, known as “elements,” that each focus on citywide topics like housing, transportation, the environment, public utilities, and more. The economic development element will align land use with job growth, support local businesses, and strategically guide infrastructure and workforce development.

Employment Allocation

Ridgefield must accommodate 8,175 new jobs by 2045.

Fall 2025 Open House
On Tuesday, September 16, we hosted an Open House to gather feedback on the draft goals, policies, and strategies for each element of Envision Ridgefield 2045. About 45 of your neighbors joined us in person to share their thoughts, but we want to hear from as many people as possible.

If you weren’t able to attend—or if you’d like to provide additional input—you can now participate in the Open House online! Your feedback is vital to shaping the future of our community.

Online Open House - Open until Sunday, October 19
