Plan Introduction

Plan Introduction

Pulaski County is working over the next several months to conduct a Comprehensive Land Use Study for the unincorporated areas within the County. The purpose of the study is to create a realistic and implementable plan that can move the County toward a future that reflects the character and needs of the citizens, communities, business owners, and other stakeholders of the County.

This process will be informed by the community and will include:

• public input meetings

• advisory committee meetings

• input from stakeholders

• coordination with municipalities and County staff.

You may wonder what a land use study is or what it will accomplish for your County. The Study is an inventory and analysis of a multitude of data related to infrastructure, land use, and community demographics. The study will be accompanied by a plan that provides recommendations on how the County can grow and develop into the future. The plan is not regulatory in nature, but rather it is a tool and policy guide to be utilized by the Planning Board and Quorum Court as they consider future decisions regarding land use, development, and redevelopment. The Plan will be flexible and lay out broad goals and objectives for the unincorporated areas of Pulaski County for the next 20 years.

Public input is key in the development of this plan, with the intent that all interests of citizens are considered. Therefore, we encourage you to check back to this page often for updates regarding upcoming public meetings and opportunities to provide input to help inform the plan.
