Board adopts updated comprehensive plan after multi-month CRC and public process
Summary
After a multi-month update process led by the regional CRC with 529 survey responses and three public meetings, the Board adopted the five-year comprehensive plan update, including updated future land-use maps and transportation recommendations reviewed by VDOT.
Planning staff summarized the comprehensive-plan update process, which began in October 2024 and included public surveys, three community meetings, and VDOT review of the transportation section. Planning Commission members and community volunteers emphasized the outreach and data work that produced the updated future land-use map and strategic guidance.
Larkin Mowery, planning commission chair, said the committee achieved consensus and recommended adoption. After public comment and board discussion about specifics such as growth areas and water availability, the supervisors adopted the updated comprehensive plan.
"Our plan has been adopted," a board member declared after the final vote. Staff noted the plan is a guide and may be revisited before the five-year review if local circumstances change.
