COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE

The Monroe County Plan Commission and Planning Department have embarked on an update to the Monroe County Comprehensive Land Use Plan over the next 36-42 months, beginning in May of 2006.  The effort  includes a wide range of activities, discussions, and community involvement opportunities designed to ensure public involvement and interagency cooperation.  The Comprehensive Land Use Plan website is a focal point for information, updates, and important news associated with the Plan Update. 

The website provides schedule information and updates as well as links to documents used and discussed throughout the update process.  View the current plan via the navigation tool located at the top of the page as well as a map of your area.
