The City of Destin is planning to update its Comprehensive Plan, a document that guides future growth and development. Inspire Placemaking Collective, Inc. has proposed to provide planning services for this major rewrite, which has not been significantly updated since 2005. The project aims to reflect current community priorities and extend the planning horizon to at least 2050. This update is currently under review and is planned to be presented to the City Council on May 4, 2026. The scope of work involves data collection, creating a project brand and website, holding community workshops, evaluating state statute changes, updating data and analysis sections, and revising goals, objectives, and policies. This process will likely involve site analysis, data management, public outreach, and extensive document creation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about potential opportunities as plans develop before bids and permits are finalized.
