Fairland Master Plan
Approved and Adopted 1997
“Most of all, this Fairland of the future is a livable suburban community – a series of neighborhoods with sidewalks and street trees, access to the natural environment and recreational facilities with employment and commercial areas emphasizing horizontal rather than vertical structures. There is plenty of green space, jobs, shopping, and, most importantly, a variety of housing options to serve a variety of needs and households – the young couples just starting out, single adults, families who need room, older couples who want less space, and senior citizens who want to be able to participate in community life.”
