Our recent survey of Gowansville residents indicated that respondents lacked information on land use controls, such as Land Development Regulations and Zoning. Their preferred method for learning was to attend a local workshop.
You asked, we answered! 
Long Range Planning will be holding an educational workshop so that local residents can learn more in general about these planning tools.

What: Gowensville Planning Workshop
Where: Gowensville Community Center (14186 Hwy 11, Campobello)
When: Wednesday, March 29th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm.

The August Road Strategic Plan - Draft document has been finalized and is presented here for your comment and convenience. Planning staff has not yet finalized a date for adoption, but we anticipate the Augusta Road Strategic Plan will be adopted by late summer after an approximate three month long process, as required by state law, and beginning with a 30-day notice in the Greenville Journal, followed by a Public Hearing before County Council. Stay tuned for more detail ...
