The 2024 plan update will determine how the county manages growth and what it?s future direction will be in areas like policies, zoning, and departmental regulations as well as planning-level environmental impacts and capital facilities reviews.

"We're committed to ensuring that our Comprehensive Plan reflects the needs and aspirations of our residents," said deputy county administrator Eric Baker. "Your input is valuable as we work to address current challenges and plan for sustainable growth."
