Anthem begins public-input phase for facilities master plan

Anthem’s facilities master-plan process is moving into its scheduled Phase II community-input period, giving residents an opportunity to help shape future community facilities and amenities. The input period is scheduled to begin around the Third of July 2026 event and continue through Autumnfest 2026.

The timeline comes from the Anthem Community Council’s Facilities Master Plan 2026 Key Dates one-pager, included in a board agenda dated January 28, 2026. It follows an education campaign scheduled from February 1 through June 1, 2026.

A multistage planning timeline

After the community-input period, the schedule calls for a preliminary evaluation from November 2026 through January 2027. Preliminary board consideration is then scheduled for February through March 2027.

The process is scheduled to continue with a final evaluation from April through July 2027. Final committee and board consideration is listed for June through September 2027.

That sequence gives the community several stages at which the plan can be reviewed before the council’s scheduled final consideration. The timeline identifies the broad period for community input, but the available agenda excerpt does not provide the exact date or format for each input opportunity.

What the schedule does—and does not—decide

For Anthem residents, homeowners, taxpayers and local businesses, the immediate development is the opening of a defined planning and input phase—not approval of a construction project. The available materials do not identify the specific facility projects under consideration.

The schedule does not approve a new facility, select a construction project or commit funding. It also does not show that residents voted on a specific proposal. Any decisions about projects or funding would come later, after the listed evaluation and board-review stages; the packet does not provide those decisions.

The Anthem Community Council’s agenda center lists a July 22, 2026, board of directors open-session agenda posted July 16, 2026. That listing confirms the council’s continuing 2026 board proceedings relevant to the facilities-planning process, but the approved materials do not state that the July 22 meeting is a public-input event or establish a separate input format.

For now, the known next steps are the community-input period through Autumnfest, followed by preliminary evaluation beginning in November 2026. Preliminary board consideration is scheduled for February and March 2027, with final committee and board consideration projected for June through September 2027.
