Commission Sends Plan on to Planning and Development Committee

The 2030 Plan Commission last evening voted 11 to 1 to approve and send the plan on to the next stage, the Planning and Development Committee of the County Board. The single NO vote was Ron Bauman, the only farmer on the commission, who said the plan did not do enough to protect farmland. We thank Ron for standing up for his convictions. The plan will be presented to the County Board at their meeting next Tuesday morning, and Planning and Development will hold a series of meetings to discuss it. Schedule will be posted here as soon as it's confirmed. They still can make changes, as can the county board with amendments from the floor on voting day. So stay tuned and keep you comments coming.
