NEWTON, Kan. — Harvey County residents are encouraged to attend any of a set of three public meetings scheduled in January to provide feedback and discuss information to go toward the creation of the County’s next comprehensive plan.
The comprehensive plan is a guiding document used as a decision-making tool by the Harvey County Planning and Zoning Advisory Board and the Harvey County Commission for determinations on land development for the next several years.
The public meetings will be set in different locations throughout the county:
· Jan. 11: Harvey County West Park community building, 2733 West Park Rd., Burrton, KS
· Jan. 12: Meridian Center, 1420 E. Broadway Ct., Newton, KS
· Jan. 13: Harvey County Camp Hawk shelter, 1801 SW. 36th St., Newton, KS
Each meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and residents can come and go throughout the meeting. Residents are invited to attend any meeting of their choosing. Each meeting will generally follow the same format and discussion topics.
Those not able to attend a meeting can complete an online survey for the comprehensive plan by visiting www.surveymonkey.com/r/harveycocompplan. Physical copies of the survey are also available in the Harvey County Planning, Zoning and Environmental office at the Harvey County Courthouse, as well as local city offices.
The County’s current comprehensive plan was completed in 2001, and prior to that, 1975.
