The Warren County Board of Supervisors adopted the Warren County 2040 comprehensive plan at its June 20, 2025 meeting after a public hearing held at the Warren County Municipal Center.

The clerk read a public-notice summary announcing the hearing, and no members of the public came forward to speak. After discussion among supervisors, the board voted to adopt the plan; the roll call was recorded in the meeting transcript as “Resolution passes with 926 votes in favor.”

The plan provides a long-range policy framework addressing housing, transportation, infrastructure, natural resources, economic development and quality-of-life priorities for the county.

Supervisor Diamond asked staff where implementation cost estimates could be found in the plan. Nora Beller, senior planner, replied that the comprehensive plan is intended as a long-range policy document and that many actions will be implemented opportunistically as state, federal and other funding sources become available. Beller said preparing detailed cost estimates now for projects that might be implemented three to four years from now would be “extremely resource intensive.”

The clerk’s public-notice language included the hearing date and location and said hard copies of the plan were available at the Warren County Planning Department and a digital copy at the Warren County 2040 hub. Because no public comments were offered during the hearing, the board proceeded directly to committee reports and later to the formal vote to adopt the plan.

The board did not adopt implementation funding or a countywide cost schedule as part of the plan; supervisors and staff indicated those details will be addressed through later, project-specific actions and funding applications.

What happens next: the adopted plan will serve as the county’s long-term policy framework for growth, development and preservation. Implementation steps, funding strategies and project-level cost estimates will be developed separately and only as individual projects or funding opportunities arise. The transcript records the formal adoption as Resolution 208 (listed in the board packet), with the roll call recorded as 926 votes in favor.
