The Comprehensive Plan is a document intended to guide and shape future growth of a community. The South Carolina Local Government Comprehensive Planning Enabling Act of 1994 establishes requirements for local governments to develop and maintain a planning process which will result in the systematic and continual re-evaluation and updating of a comprehensive plan. As of 2024, the State requires that all comprehensive plans include ten primary elements: population, economic development, natural resources, cultural resources, community facilities, housing, land use, transportation, priority investment, and resiliency.
The Comprehensive Plan will be developed over the course of a 16-month process, beginning in July 2024. It is possible that the Plan will be completed prior to 16 months - please review the Planning Process tab to determine the release of a draft document.
There are numerous ways that you can be involved in the planning process! Visit the "Get Involved" tab of this website to find about upcoming public meetings and an online community survey. You can also visit the "Contact Us" tab to submit a question or comment, and to subscribe to our email list.
