Starke County Commissioners Approve Comprehensive Plan

The Starke County Commissioners approved the county’s comprehensive plan last week.

The comprehensive plan includes land use, government and fiscal capacity, public facilities and services, placemaking, economic development, housing, transportation, agriculture, natural resources, parks and recreation, historical and archaeological resources, and hazard mitigation. 

The comprehensive plan helps the county plan for the future and will help in the process of applying for the state’s Regional Stellar Communities Designation program.  All three municipalities in Starke County have similar plans for future planning.
