WAYNE COUNTY, OHIO, Nov. 14, 2019 — Wayne County is updating its comprehensive plan. Wayne Onward is an effort to create an authentic community-driven vision for the future of the County. This vision will identify qualities of the County that should be preserved, respond to current development trends, and bring people together to address key planning issues. The plan is a tool to prepare for change and acts as both a business plan and a guidebook for decision-makers. Wayne Onward will keep the County a desirable place in which to live, work, play, and invest. Community engagement is an essential part of the comprehensive planning process, and all community members are invited to be a part of creating it.

You are invited to download a DRAFT copy of the plan – available at www.wayneonward.com – and attend one of the public hearings to give us your feedback. The meetings are scheduled for Nov. 20th at 2 p.m. and Nov. 27th at 9 a.m. Both meetings will be on the 2nd floor of the Wayne County Administration Building located at 428 West Liberty Street, Wooster, OH 44691.
