Vision 2025

Storefront for Community Design announced a bold, new vision and a three-year strategic plan that serves as our roadmap. We will firmly focus on transforming our low-cost design and planning assistance programs and expanding our design education programs to inspire community-driven design in the built environment.

These city-wide initiatives have the power to serve over 200,000 people in the greater Richmond area and to foster community design. We will collaborate with 1,940 community partners and 350 volunteers to convene 90 projects to strengthen relationships and facilitate new connections. We will aid community partners in ideas advancing areas of environmental and food justice, health and wellness, economic development, placemaking/placekeeping, and design/planning tools to empower community organizing.

Our Priorities

To make that happen, we’re organizing everything that we do over the next three years around these three priorities:
