Multiple US Counties Seek Public Input on Master Plan Updates

Several counties and cities across the U.S. are actively seeking community input to update or develop master plans that will guide future development, infrastructure, and recreational improvements. Buncombe County Parks & Recreation is resuming its Systemwide Parks & Recreation Master Plan, focusing on restoring parks damaged by Hurricane Helene and updating goals based on recent community feedback. Similarly, Bay County Transportation Planning Organization is updating its trails and pathways plan to enhance walkability, while Emmet County is gathering public opinions to shape its long-term development policies through a community survey. The City of Beavercreek is hosting an event and collecting feedback on its future land use map to address growth management, natural space preservation, and pedestrian-friendly development. Meanwhile, Hilltop Campus Village in Davenport is working on a master plan aimed at improving safety, signage, and commercial areas. These efforts reflect a broad engagement with residents to ensure that plans align with current community needs and priorities.
