NEW COUNTY MASTER PLAN
The Baldwin County Planning Department held a community meeting at the Fairhope satellite courthouse last week to gather more input from citizens for a new comprehensive growth plan for the county. (see baldwinourvision.com)
Baldwin County Planning Director Matthew Brown called the process "a look into the future growth and how to manage it ... the best ways possible ... ."
This process is entirely different for the city-led effort currently underway; but coordinating such efforts was one of the important priorities mentioned. Fairhope planning director Hunter Simmons attended the meeting as well.
Problems areas already identified by consultants from 'Design Workshop' of Raleigh NC. are:
* "Altered" quality of life.
* Sprawl.
* Environmental issues.
* Tensions with local municipalities and ...
* No unified approach. Need for coordination.
Based upon data gathered from citizens and stakeholders the consultants will formulate a plan to present for adoption to the county commission, who will then be tasked with implementation.
