The Delaware County Planning Board is developing develop a strategic comprehensive plan, a vital document that will
guide the future growth, development, and preservation of our community. This project is being undertaken with the expertise of Fisher Associates, a full-service consulting firm
offering planning, transportation, land development, and environmental services. Fisher will lead the planning process and public engagement efforts.
The Delaware County Strategic Comprehensive Plan will serve as a guide to promoting the success, safety, and general welfare of Delaware County, providing a basis to guide the development of environment while working to sustain and improve quality of life for residents. The plan will address various county-wide topics, including land use, transportation systems, economy and industry, farmland and food production, infrastructure, parks and open spaces, renewable energy, sustainability and hazard mitigation. When completed, the Plan will reflect the values and priorities of Delaware County residents and will be used as a roadmap for decision-making over the next decade and beyond.
To ensure the plan accurately represents the aspirations of the community, the Delaware County Planning Board is committed to a transparent and inclusive process. All residents, landowners, business owners, and other stakeholders are invited to take the online survey available at the project website: delcony.us/plncsp/. Those interested in the plan may also participate in two upcoming public input sessions designed to gather feedback, ideas, and
concerns that will shape the content and direction of the Strategic Comprehensive Plan.

• Monday, Sept. 16, from 6 - 8 p.m.; Hobart Community Center, 80 Cornell Ave., Hobart
• Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 6 - 8 p.m.; Walton Fire Hall, 61 West St, Walton
The input gathered from the public survey and during these initial input sessions will be carefully reviewed by Delaware County Planning and the consultant for incorporation into the draft plan. There will be additional opportunities for public review and comment as the
Plan progresses.
