Comprehensive Plan Update
The Comprehensive Plan is our community’s guide for the future of Nelson County. The Plan establishes a shared vision and provides the direction to achieve that vision. It is the County’s most important document for navigating growth, development, and change.
Thank you to all who have helped with the creation of the Nelson 2042 Comprehensive Plan! Public engagement for the Plan is now complete.
A new draft of the plan is expected to be available for view early December of 2023. This draft will go to the Nelson County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for public hearings to hear from the community before adopting the Plan.
Stay tuned for more details soon!
