Pinellas County has recently announced webinars to offer the public an inside look at the first major update to the county’s comprehensive plan since 2008.
Every county in Florida is required by state law to maintain a comprehensive plan to manage growth and ensure long-term sustainability. PLANPinellas will update the county’s 2008 comprehensive plan, and county staff will discuss the direction of the plan during two topic-focused webinars Sept. 21 and 22. Residents can view the proposed plan online and sign up for the webinars at https://plan.pinellas.gov.
On Tuesday, Sept. 21 at 12 p.m., future land use, economic prosperity, housing and transportation will be discussed. On Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 12 p.m., natural resources and conservation, coastal management, surface water, and recreation, open space and culture will be reviewed. Draft chapters of the plan that do not appear to be part of the webinars include solid waste and recovery, lifelong learning, and governance.
