The Town of Occoquan is looking to the future and working with community stakeholders to create a vision plan for expanding the Town Dock and Riverwalk. The process will involve multiple opportunities for community input and produce visioning documents, maps, and vignettes that will help the Town and potential partners visualize the future Riverwalk.

Background
In September 2022, Town Council hired the Berkley Planning Group to support the Planning Commission on its Riverwalk Visioning process. A kickoff meeting between Town staff and the Berkley Group occurred on Thursday, October 27, 2022. A Riverwalk Visioning Workshop was held from 5-7 pm on Monday, January 23rd, 2023, at Town Hall with over two dozen community members in attendance. On the same date, staff also met with the Berkley Group for a tour of the potential expansion area. A second public meeting was held on Thursday, June 15th, 2023, to review the draft map and image boards for the vision plan.
As of June 20th, 2023, the Berkley Group is reviewing feedback from the public meeting and the online comments sheet and drafting a final vision plan for the Town’s review.
