Carlton County is updating its Comprehensive Plan!
Carlton County is excited to announce the kick-off of the planning process to update the County’s comprehensive plan. The Carlton County Comprehensive Plan will serve as the County’s official guide for land use and development for the next 20 years. Informed by community consensus, community vision, existing conditions, and future potentials, the comprehensive plan will serve as a road map to the future by guiding policy decisions and helping the community achieve its long-term objectives.
The comprehensive plan will address several topics, including land use, residential areas, economic development including mining and industrial areas, agriculture, transportation, community facilities and infrastructure, parks and open space, and natural and cultural resources.
When completed, the Carlton County Comprehensive Plan will be the product of the community, with a vision and recommendations guided by valuable input received from residents, business owners, community leaders, and other stakeholders.
Over the next year, residents should stay active and aware of the project as it progresses by tracking it through the project website at https://hla.fyi/CarltonCountyCompPlan. The County and project team look forward to working with the community in crafting a plan for Carlton County!
