Bring your input to the county’s new growth policy

Jefferson County’s Planning Department has released a draft Growth Policy aimed at guiding future development while preserving the county’s natural beauty, infrastructure, and quality of life. The policy is now available for public review, and residents are encouraged to provide feedback before it is finalized.

The draft Growth Policy serves as a blueprint for managing population growth, land use, economic development, and environmental conservation. The county has been working closely with local stakeholders and collected public comments to ensure the policy reflects the values and priorities of its residents.

Public engagement is a crucial part of this process, and the Jefferson County Planning Board invites residents, business owners, and community organizations to review the draft and provide input. A series of Open Houses will be held to discuss the policy and gather feedback.
