York County residents encouraged to attend townhall meetings, take survey

YORK COUNTY – Area residents are encouraged to attend the remaining three townhall meetings, scheduled for this coming week, as the county is in the process of updating its comprehensive plan.

​The remaining townhall meetings will be held: June 10, Waco Community Hall, 6 p.m.; June 11, Benedict Community Hall, 6 p.m.; June 16, Cornerstone Event Center at the York County Fairgrounds, 6 p.m.
Meanwhile, York County residents are also encouraged to participate in a survey being conducted to assist with the process of updating the county’s comprehensive plan.
The survey collects public input regarding building economic growth, shaping housing, enhancing parks and recreation, improving roads and infrastructure, ensuring public safety and services, and sharing local perspectives about a number of topics. There also questions about zoning, renewable energy projects, rural residential acreages, preservation of history, responsiveness of county officials, infrastructure and more.
Simply go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YorkCoCompPlan to take the survey.
The answers will remain anonymous and cannot be traced back to the participant. Consultants ask that participants only answer the survey once.
It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete the entire survey.
Physical copies of the survey can also be picked up at the York County Clerk’s office, which is located on the main floor of the courthouse.
