For those of you living in Story County --- here's a chance to be a part of the local process. Posted by Jane Clark Re: Story County workshop on future development alternatives The Story County Planning and Zoning Department will hold a day-long design workshop to put together the "preferred future" for development in rural Story County. The public is invited to attend all or part of the workshop, which runs from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 6th at Christie Hall, 220 H Avenue in Nevada. The workshop is a major step in the ongoing update of the Story County Development Plan. The updated plan will guide residential, commercial and industrial development for many years into the future. Participants at the workshop will be introduced to the planning process, review three unique alternatives and work cooperatively to produce a preferred alternative for future development. Major issues to be discussed are transportation, natural resources, farmland preservation and general land use. The three alternative development models are (1) City-Town Center Approach, (2) Growth Corridor Approach, and (3) Existing Trends Approach. Following the day-long workshop, there will be an open house from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. also at Christie Hall. Story County residents are invited to come for as much of the day as possible. If you would like to attend, please call (515) 382-7245.
