County staff outlines outreach plan for comprehensive land-use update
Summary
Staff said they are engaging residents through interactive maps, event booths (including a Limestone Township/Bartonville tree-lighting), 'future talks' with civic groups, and distribution support from the Peoria County Farm Bureau; staff listed the project website peoriacounty200plus.com.
The Land Use Committee heard an update on the county’s comprehensive land-use plan and public-engagement activities.
Sharon asked staff for an update. Andrew said the county has been using interactive maps at community events and will staff a booth at a Limestone Township/Bartonville tree-lighting event (described as a 'Christmas in the park' occasion) to invite public input. He said planners will host a series of 'future talks' — small-group briefings with civic or special-interest groups and Tri-County Regional Planning Commission staff — and that the Peoria County Farm Bureau has agreed to distribute survey materials, with an expected reach of about 600 vehicles at an upcoming pickup event.
Andrew provided the project website, peoriacounty200plus.com, as a place for residents to view maps and participate. The committee did not take formal action on the plan at this meeting and no public comments were recorded.
Staff indicated outreach will continue through the end of the year and invited committee members to request staff participation at other local gatherings.
