We want to hear from you on the Comprehensive Plan update

Did you miss the comprehensive plan update public meetings over the last two weeks and still would like to give your input on what New Kent County should look like in the future?

New Kent County is currently working with residents, businesses, landowners, and other community members to update its Comprehensive Plan, New Kent 2045. The Comprehensive Plan is a long-range guide for growth and development, establishing a vision of what New Kent County could look like in twenty years. The plan addresses a variety of topics, including land use, housing, economic development, and natural resources.

Check out the mapping exercise at the New Kent 2045 project website and tell us what you think.
