What will Washington County look like in 20 years? This is the question we seek to answer collectively. Over the next several months, the Washington County Planning Commission, in collaboration with the Department of Planning & Zoning, will actively seek public input on the best strategies to plan and manage future growth, ensuring the creation of a vibrant community that caters to the needs of all its citizens.

Key topics for discussion will include:

  • Economic Development
  • Housing
  • Transportation
  • Water Resources
  • Agricultural Resources and Land Preservation
  • Historic and Cultural Resources
  • And many others…

There are several ways to get involved and make your voice heard:
