Spotsylvania County is embarking on an update of its Comprehensive Plan and seeks input from residents and stakeholders via a survey that went live August 1.
The last Comprehensive Plan update was completed in December of 2021, with amendments to address transportation, data center and industrial land use policies, and the hazard mitigation plan in July of 2022, 2023, and 2024
The current major update will guide decision-making over the next five years on matters of land use, housing, economic development, transportation, and infrastructure, according to the county’s website.
Jurisdictions are required by Virginia Code to create Comprehensive Plans, review them periodically, and update them every five years, at a minimum.
The survey will be available for the next six months.
Anyone who wants to provide feedback but does not want to complete the survey can enter comments at the county’s Comprehensive Plan website.
