Where and How Should We Grow in our Community?
Isle of Wight County is in the process of revising the IOW Comprehensive Plan. The county will be conducting a series of public meetings to gather input from the community, which will be used to update the current plan. The next public forum will focus on “Where and How Should We Grow?”
Session times for all locations will be 3:30-5:00 PM and 6:30-8:00 PM. Please consider attending one of these sessions to share your thoughts and ideas on the future of Isle of Wight County.
