Pender County seeks public input on future growth
PENDER COUNTY, NC (WWAY) — Pender County is launching its Imagine Pender 2050 Comprehensive Land Use Plan, a major effort to develop a cohesive, countywide vision for future land use, growth, and conservation through the year 2050.
As part of this initiative, the County is inviting residents, business owners, and community stakeholders to participate in shaping the future of Pender County by attending a series of community meetings and sharing their ideas.
The Imagine Pender 2050 plan will guide decisions about land use, development, and conservation by setting goals and objectives that will help County officials and policymakers make informed choices for sustainable growth.
The first round of community engagement will take place this fall, starting the week of September 16th. Residents are encouraged to attend one of the upcoming community meetings to learn more about the Imagine Pender 2050 plan and to share their vision for the future of the County. Spanish-language materials will be available at all meetings.
