Lumberport council votes to engage WVU Comprehensive Planning Committee
Summary
The Town of Lumberport voted 4-0 to proceed with the West Virginia University Comprehensive Planning Committee after a presentation on land use, parks and accessible sidewalks; council members authorized staff to move forward with the planning arrangement.
The Town of Lumberport Council voted Monday to proceed with a comprehensive planning engagement with the West Virginia University Comprehensive Planning Committee. Charlotte Shaffer of the WVU committee presented to council on options for land use, parks and handicapped-accessible sidewalks; councilmember Michael Stire moved to proceed and the motion passed 4-0.
Council members said the planning work will help guide town land-use decisions and public amenity upgrades. The vote followed Shaffer’s presentation and the distribution of planning materials to council members, including a Sept. 18, 2024 letter referenced during the meeting. Council did not record a formal expenditure tied to the motion in the meeting minutes; staff were directed to proceed with next steps.
The action means Lumberport will coordinate with WVU on a plan addressing public spaces and pedestrian accessibility. Council asked staff to report back on scope and any required agreements at a future meeting.
