MARION COUNTY WILL BE HOLDING A SERIES
OF WORKSHOPS ON CREATING A VISION FOR
OUR COMMUNITY FUTURE
 
 

The Marion County Board of County Commission is beginning the process of updating the County's Comprehensive Plan. To achieve this goal, the Commission will be utilizing the "Community Visioning" process as outlined by Florida Statutes. This process will include a series of public workshops to discuss specific topics related to establishing a long term growth management plan. The purpose of these workshops is to seek community input on the “Vision” for the future of Marion County. The establishment of a community vision is intended to provide direction for changes to Marion County's Comprehensive Plan. The main objective is to put in place a 10 year, financially feasible, economically and environmentally sustainable Comprehensive Plan that accurately reflects the anticipated growth and development of Marion County.
