OCTOBER 22, 2009 ISSUE
Citizens’ Plan for Watauga Community Meetings November 2, 3 and 5
Preparation of County’s Comprehensive Plan Moves Forward
In 2007, the Watauga County Board of Commissioners authorized the preparation of a comprehensive plan for the county and appointed a seven-member Plan Oversight Group to guide the preparation of the plan, which is called the “Citizens’ Plan for Watauga.”
In late 2007 and early 2008, the Plan Oversight Group sponsored a series of community meetings to gather public input regarding important community issues and priorities and agreed to convene future meetings to review the progress of this planning process with the public.
The follow-up meetings are scheduled for the following dates and locations:
Monday, November 2—Cove Creek Elementary School, 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday, November 3—Parkway Elementary School, 6:15 p.m.
Thursday, November 5—Watauga County Administration Building, 6:00 p.m.
Draft copies of the plan can be viewed by clicking to www.wataugacounty.org or at the offices of the Watauga County Planning & Inspections Department, located at 331 Queen Street, Suite A in Boone. Comments about the plan can also be submitted through the county’s website.
Following the community meetings in November, the Plan Oversight Group will review the comments received, revise the draft plan as needed and present it to the commissioners for review and consideration.
“We sincerely thank the citizens of Watauga for your input and support of this important planning initiative and we encourage your participation,” said Planning and Inspections Director Joe Furman.
