Get Involved

The input of New Kent County citizens is critical to the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The planning process includes three phases of public input, providing a range of opportunities to be involved in planning for New Kent's future in 2045 and beyond.

​​​

Phase 1 Input

On October 12th, 2022, the first Open House event introduced the Comprehensive Plan process and collected input on strengths, challenges, growth issues, and more. At the same time, an online survey was launched, allowing additional input.

 

Phase 2 Input

A series of three public meetings held throughout the county in June 2023 used mapping exercises to collect public input on land use and transportation conditions and needs.  An online collaborative map was also launched to allow input from citizens who could not attend in person.

​​

Phase 3 Input

        

On October 22nd, 2024, the second Open House event was held to share draft elements of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan, including transportation maps, the Future Land Use Map, and plan tactics. Public input from this event was used to refine the final plan document for approval and adoption.
