The City of Plano, Texas is a first tier suburb of 285,000, located twenty miles northeast of Dallas. In 2015, the City created the Neighborhood Services Department to address issues relating to the maturing of the community. Through innovative strategies and tools, the Neighborhood Services Department is working to strengthen Plano’s substantial number of middle neighborhoods.
The BEST Neighborhoods, Property Standards and Community Services teams cooperatively manage these strategies and programs, which are based in four service pillars: Educate, Enlist, Enable and Enforce. The middle neighborhoods strategies include: the Pop-Up Party Trailer, BEST Neighborhoods Designation program, Plano CARES, Love Where You Live, as well as the U.S. Council of Mayor’s 2016 Livability Award winner, Great Update Rebate Program.
