Citrus County launches comprehensive-plan update, invites residents to shape 2050 vision
Summary
Citrus County said it is updating its comprehensive plan (last revised in 1990) with consultant Inspire Planning and Design to create a vision through 2050 and invited residents to participate via surveys, forums and local workshops. The county noted the plan is required by Florida Statutes.
Speaker 1, an unidentified speaker, said Citrus County "Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 1990," and announced the county is partnering with Inspire Planning and Design to write a new plan that outlines "a clear vision for our county in 2050."
The county framed the update as a legally required planning document, with Speaker 1 saying the comprehensive plan is required by Florida Statutes and that the revision will provide "an effective blueprint that establishes policies to guide the future development while preserving our community's character and resources."
Speaker 2, an unidentified speaker, described the subjects the plan will cover, saying: "The Comprehensive Plan will guide how land is used, infrastructure is built and resources are protected." He listed specific elements that will be included, such as housing, transportation, economic development, conservation, land use and recreation.
Officials invited public participation: Speaker 2 said there will be "several workshops and pop up events held by Inspire around Citrus county where you can share your voice," and directed residents to a project website shown on-screen for details about events, a brief survey and a community forum where people can post ideas. Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 also said a project timeline will be available so residents can track stages of the update from start to finish.

Those details were not provided in the transcript and are therefore not included here.
Next steps: residents were urged to complete the online survey and use the community forum to offer input; the county did not state when a draft plan or public hearing on adoption will occur.
