Rockingham County Comprehensive Plan Update

Sunrise view over a rural landscape with the words 'time for your input.'

Rockingham County is working to update its comprehensive plan that will guide growth and development decisions over the next 20 years. The plan looks all aspects of the county from housing to transportation to open space and economics. (If you need a refresher on the role of a comprehensive plan, you can look back at Nancy Sorrells’ 2020 article Superheroes Need Good Sidekicks.)

The county has mapped out the process of the update that will take a couple years and will provide many opportunities for public input, staring with community meetings and a survey between October and November 2022.

It is important that Rockingham County folks participate so that this plan is a true reflection of what residents want for their community going forward.
