BERKELEY COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE COMMUNITY SURVEY

This survey is an opportunity for residents and neighbors of Berkeley County to share opinions about the future growth and development of the County. Your feedback will be used by the County’s staff, Planning Commission, and County Commission as we work to update the County’s Comprehensive Plan.

The Comprehensive Plan is the County’s most important document regarding growth and development for the next 10 to 15 years. It establishes important visions and goals for public and private activities as they relate to land use and community facilities. The Plan is the basis for land development regulations, capital improvements and public facilities investments, and environmental and historic resource protection.

Note: This Plan will NOT address growth and development within the City limits of Martinsburg.
