2028 Comprehensive Plan Update

Take our survey about the future of Kent County!

 

Background

Starting in 2026, the County's Planning office will begin the process to update this plan.  We are required to have the plan updated every 10 years.  Our last plan(PDF, 16MB) was finalized in 2018. We will spend the upcoming 2+ years gathering information, receiving comments from the public, drafting a plan, getting feedback from the public on that draft and producing a final plan for certification by the Governor.

The State of Delaware requires Comprehensive Plans to have certain required elements.  The elements required are:

  • A Future Land Use Plan
  • Mobility
  • Water and Sewer
  • Conservation
  • Climate Change
  • Recreation and Open Space
  • Housing
  • Intergovernmental Coordination
  • Community Design Recommendations
  • Historical Preservation
  • Economic Development
  • Education

We will be drafting the plan and looking for feedback on each of these elements.

Public Process

There will be multiple ways for the public to get involved with the process from workshops, outreach at events, and public hearings.  Throughout the entire process the staff will be available during normal business hours to talk and answer questions about the plan.  Any member of the public may provide written comments throughout the process at any time.

We'll be posting survey links, data, maps and other information in this space, so bookmark us and check back in to learn more about your County.

Outreach

We are happy to release our first online survey for the Comprehensive Plan process!  Please take a few minutes to complete the survey.  The feedback we receive is invaluable in crafting the direction and recommendations of the final Plan.  In case you missed it at the top of the page, you can access the survey here.
