Wayne County Comprehensive Plan Resident Survey 2022

The Wayne County Board of Commissioners and Wayne County Planning Department are now engaged in an update of the Wayne County Comprehensive Plan.

A critical part of this planning effort is gathering of direct public input. Community surveys of Wayne County residents and vacation-home owners will help in formulating updated recommendations dealing with expected growth, land use, community facilities and transportation, among other issues. Your help with this survey, therefore, is extremely important and a special opportunity for you to comment and tell us more about your perspective on County needs.

Thank you for participating!
