About the Project

Prince Edward County is revising and updating its Comprehensive Plan!

The Comprehensive Plan is a community-driven document that sets a vision and goals for the future of Prince Edward County over the next 20 years.

The Comprehensive Plan addresses topics such as land use, development, economic growth, transportation, and natural and cultural resources in the unincorporated areas of Prince Edward County. The policies defined in the plan will guide the County’s future direction and priorities for growth, services, and land use regulation.

About the Process

Updating the Comprehensive Plan is a collaborative effort between Prince Edward County’s Board of Supervisors, Planning Commission, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders. Community information and public input has been gathered and is being used to draft new priorities, goals, and strategies into the Plan’s chapters. The Comprehensive Plan relies on continued public input, so we encourage the people of Prince Edward County to be an active part of this process!

The Process Includes:

✓ Kickoff with Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors – October 17, 2023

✓ Public Input Survey – November 2023 - January 2024

✓ Public Input Workshops – November - December 2023
