More than 1,000 local residents participated in the development of the Roanoke County 200 Plan in last two years, new meetings scheduled soon
The Comprehensive Plan has been updated in a big way with the Roanoke County 200 Plan. The “200 Plan” lays out a big picture vision for the community as well as specific goals for 11 community planning areas in the County and Town of Vinton.
During 2021 and 2022, more than 1,000 residents and other important people in the community worked on the Roanoke County 200 Plan. In February and March, Roanoke County will hold six open house community meetings all over the county so that people can give feedback on the draft plan for their community.
Philip Thompson, the Director of Planning, said, “We want Roanoke County residents, business owners, visitors, and anyone else interested in the future of the County to join us to look at the 200 Plan and give feedback on how it will shape our community over the next 15 years.” “These draft goals will affect how land is used in the future, how natural and cultural resources are used, how public facilities and services are used, and how the transportation infrastructure is built.”
All six open house style meetings are from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
- Catawba, Glenvar and Masons Cove: Glenvar Middle School- Monday, February 27
