Our conversation today with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. Joining Tyler & I today was McKenzie Allen, an associate planner to discuss Chapter Four: Economic Development.
Chapter 4: Economic Development
- Provides a vision and objectives to protect and enhance aspects
such as the
- potential new industrial and commercial developments in the County and its Towns
