Plan Warren County NC: Community Input Requested ποΈ
Warren County North Carolina is updating its Comprehensive Plan to guide future growth and development over the next 20 years, and they want your input!
Warren County is starting a new phase in its comprehensive development plan process. These comprehensive development plan updates are a ten-month process that will result in updates to the existing 2002 plan, which was meant to run through 2022.
Public participation will play a key role through these conversations and feedback. The comprehensive development plan will help to shape the vision and priorities for the future of Warren County.
Warren Countyβs comprehensive development plan team is conducting a survey that will be available through the end of March 2022. Find a link to the survey via the countyβs website warrencountync.com.
The survey can also be found online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WarrenCo_CLUP_Survey.
Hard copies of the survey can also be found at the Warren County Administration Building (602 W Ridgeway St, Warrenton), Warren County Memorial Library (119 Front St, Warrenton), and the Warren County Senior Center (435 W Franklin St, Warrenton).
Participants may fill out the survey and either scan, mail, or return their responses in person to the Warren County Planning and Code Enforcement office located at 542 West Ridgeway Street in Warrenton, NC 27589. If you would like to scan the copy of a survey, please email your completed copy to compplan@warrencountync.gov.
βThe Comprehensive Development Plan will update the 2002 Land Development Plan and address new issues and priorities that have come forward in the years since then. The Plan may address several topics as determined by the community but generally a Land Use Plan addresses land use, housing, infrastructure, transportation, economic development, agriculture, recreation, and natural resources. This is a guiding document upon which land use decisions are based.
