Call for Ad-Hoc Participants: Planning Commission Comprehensive Plan Review

The Town Comprehensive Plan is Under Review. The Town Planning Commission has started a review of the 2011 Comprehensive Plan to see if over the past few years, new development, population growth, community opinions, or economic changes warrant updating the Plan.

The Commission is seeking assistance from people in the community who have an interest in housing, economic development, the environment, transportation, or other topics affecting the future of the Town.

The Town of Lovettsville adopted its Comprehensive Plan in 2011 and last updated it in 2018. The Comprehensive Plan is an important document, guiding Town Council decisions on land use and growth management. It provides a vision for the Town’s future and policies that direct both public and private decisions on such matters as economic development, housing, capital investments, historic preservation and the environment. The Plan is not a regulatory document, but the goals and policies are implemented through budget and capital improvement decisions that guide public investment; and zoning, subdivision, and development review ordinances that influence private investment.

If you are interested in helping the Planning Commission and have an interest or knowledge of some of the challenges and opportunities facing the Town, please contact John Merrithew, Town Planner, at 540-755-3004 or email at [email protected]
