The Monroe County Commission and the County Plan Commission spent four and a half hours last night fine-tuning the County’s long-term planning document, known as the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The document, which is currently 115 pages long in draft form, is intended to guide the County’s land development policies for the next 20 years. Within the plan are general goals and frameworks for economic development, environmental protection, promotion of tourism, agriculture, residential development and many other land uses. The current draft of the plan, including revisions made by the County Commission in November, is available on the County’s website. In today’s WFHB feature, participants in last night’s discussion explain exactly what the Comprehensive Plan is and what it should do. We’ll hear first from County Plan Commission member Richard Martin, then County Surveyor Kevin Enright and then County Attorney David Schilling.
