Planning
Successful regions understand all of their potential resources and link these together for the betterment of all residents, visitors, and businesses. Community planning encompasses strategies that link economic development, environment, land use and transportation, systematically working through opportunities and constraints to achieve solutions to our region’s most pressing issues.
The KTCOG is involved in community planning, providing planning assistance to Kerr-Tar counties, municipalities and citizens in the development of small area plans and other community design issues. This is accomplished by providing local assistance in comprehensive plans, providing training and workshops, and planning and hosting charrettes and workshops.
The COG Planning Department houses the Kerr-Tar Regional Planning Organization (RPO) and is responsible for providing transportation planning service assistance to the region. Additionally, staff can assist with a myriad of land design and planning tasks, including:
- Hazard Mitigation Plans – A comprehensive planning process of identifying hazards and vulnerabilities, and developing plans and implementation strategies to reduce hazardous impacts
- Corridor & Gateway Plans – A plan analysis examining a small area or corridor from a visual, usage, and trend needs assessment
