Comprehensive-plan workshops set for Jan. 15; APC candidate appointed
Summary
The county’s comprehensive-plan process will hold public workshops on Jan. 15 (noon, 6 p.m.) at the EMA Training Room; Doug Westerfeld (APC) outlined a four-phase schedule. Commissioners also appointed Harvey (last name not provided) to the Area Plan Commission.
The Peter County comprehensive-plan process moves into its public phase: Doug Westerfeld of the Area Plan Commission told commissioners Jan. 5 that HWC (engineering firm) has completed data collection and the steering committee is organized, and that the next step will be public workshops on Thursday, Jan. 15 at noon and 6 p.m. in the EMA Training Room at the county annex. Westerfeld said focus groups (housing, real estate, agriculture and similar stakeholders) will meet the prior day to inform the public sessions.
Westerfeld described the process as four phases: steering and data collection (completed), public input (starting Jan. 15), an analysis phase through mid-summer, and a finalization phase toward year-end. He said the public workshops and focus groups are opportunities for residents and stakeholders to shape the plan’s priorities and that findings will feed directly to the steering committee and HWC.
In related business, commissioners appointed Harvey (last name not specified in the transcript) to fill a vacancy on the Area Plan Commission after Westerfeld recommended him; the motion to appoint was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Next steps: staff and HWC to publicize the Jan. 15 workshops and proceed with phase 3 analysis after public input.
