Hannah Altimus told the commission that a comprehensive plan is required to be eligible to apply for WHETA and HUD funding. Commissioners discussed a possible path of finalizing the comprehensive plan now and considering a separate zoning ordinance later at the direction of the county board.
Commissioners agreed to move forward with elements of the comprehensive plan, including further map work at the next meeting on Sept. 11, 2024.
