Shenandoah 2045: Community Engagement

Our conversation today with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024. Today, Tyler and I talked about Chapter One: Historic, Cultural, and Scenic Resources in the first segment.  Chapter 1: Historic, Cultural, And Scenic Resources Provides a vision and objectives to protect and enhance aspects such as the Historic Resources such as Native American village sites, sensitive battlefield areas, or key historic structures and districts. Cultural Resources such as artwork, archeological sites, and objects, canals or other human-made earthwork that is important to human history. Scenic Resources such as historic views from battlefields, pull-off areas on roadways to enjoy scenic vistas, scenic byways, or the view from or in downtown historic communities. You can find the chapter overview below and view the entire plan in various forms here: https://shenandoahcountyva.us/2045plan/ In the second segment, we dived into the community engagement and feedback they've received. Tyler shared a slide show/presentation that featured much of what they've learned.
