Public Drop-In Meetings
A series of seven public drop-in meetings were held across the County in March and April 2026. Residents were invited to stop in at any time during these meetings to review informational boards, provide feedback, and speak with the consultants about the Comprehensive Plan Update. If you were unable to attend these meetings, you can still review the meeting materials and provide comments on this project website. Following these meetings, the draft Plan Update will be edited and shared on the project website. There will also be additional public meetings and hearings held as part of the adoption process later this year.
