Online survey asks for public input

The Wayne County Commissioners and Wayne County Planning Department need input for the new County Comprehensive Plan.

An online survey and interactive mapping activity is now available at www.wayneonward.com/strong-weak/.

The comprehensive plan will be an updated long-term guide that expresses the values and aspirations of the community and serves as a guide for future development. The plan will cover a range of topics and aims to manage change in the county while preserving what makes it special. Everyone who lives and works in Wayne County is encouraged to participate.

The website is interactive and designed to allow participants to provide ideas to help shape the plan. The input gathered along with technical analysis will be used to develop a vision and specific, implementable action items that county agencies and organizations can pursue.

“We want our plan to incorporate everyone’s vision for the future, so we hope we get many people across the county to participate. This is a special opportunity for our community to share big ideas for Wayne County,” said Trevor Hunt, director of the Wayne County Commissioners’ Planning Department, which is spearheading the project.

Wayne Onward was initiated in fall 2018. The final plan will be completed by fall 2019. More information can be found at www.wayneonward.com or by calling Hunt at 330-287-5423 or emailing thunt@wayneohio.org.
