Comprehensive Plan Review Underway
Augusta County residents are actively participating in the Comprehensive Plan Review process, with 800 people attending public meetings last fall in the five districts and another 1,500 completing an online vision survey late last summer. Planners have completed a current conditions report and identified the need to add sections to the comp plan concerning water resources, forestry and historic resources. The Comp Plan Review Steering Committee and an advisory Citizens Committee are reviewing the contract for the planning work and considering adjustments based on newly identified needs. You can read more on the Comprehensive Plan page of the county website.
