Comprehensive Plan
STUFF WE'VE DONE
- Comprehensive Planning Committees Approve Goals
At their October 23, 2002 committee meetings, Urban and Rural Steering Committee
members approved a set of planning goals. The Goals are intended to provide direction
for the drafting of the different elements that will make up the Portage County
Comprehensive Plan. The Goal statements are also to be considered by local
communities as they develop their individual plans.
- Comprehensive Plan Guiding Principles
The Portage County Comprehensive Planning Joint Steering Committee adopted a set
of Guiding Principles at its September 2002 meeting. These guiding principles provide
broad direction to each of eight element areas that will ultimately be part of the
comprehensive plan document, and serve to focus future policy discussions toward
achieving county citizen's visions for the future. View Guiding Principles...
- Element Area Work Groups Forward Recommendations
The purpose of the Element Area Work Groups was to provide guidance to the Urban
Area and Rural Comprehensive Planning Committees in developing goals to reach the
visions outlined in the Rural, urban, and Countywide Vision Statements by drawing
upon the experience and knowledge of experts within the Portage County community. A
total of seven work groups met in August and September of 2002 to develop goal
recommendations for the planning committees to consider. The work groups dealt
Housing, Historic and Cultural Resources, Natural Resources, Agriculture,
Transportation, Utilities and Public Facilities, and Economic Development.
