Crawford County seeks community input for new growth plan
CRAWFORD CO., Mo. — Crawford County officials are asking for the community's help to create a new growth plan for the next 20 years. County commissioners and the county counselor held a public comprehensive plan and zoning meeting, Thursday evening. Nearly three dozen attended in-person and even more by livestream, to learn more about the process needed to create a new comprehensive plan. The county hasn't had a new plan since 2002, so they're asking for the community's help guiding commissioners and agencies for the next two decades. Those in attendance filled out a 12-page public input survey, focusing on land use, zoning, and wind and solar issues. There's also a survey to gather even more input. 'It's a good opportunity for them to learn about the process, encouraging people to get that survey taken, to get the results back into the commissioners, have the input they need to start the comprehensive plan process. This is our first step as the survey to gauge public opinion,' said Jim Emerson, Crawford County Counselor.
