Shenandoah 2045: Planning in Strasburg

Our conversation 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. Brian Otis, Planning & Zoning Administrator for the Town of Strasburg joined Tyler & I today to give us a bit of "behind-the-scenes" info about planning, zoning, and ordinance updates in Strasburg. Brian gave us a glimpse into a normal day for him, plus we talked about a few things that most residents may not understand about planning & zoning. He told us about the potential for a boundary adjustment and Tyler explained how those work and what's required to make them happen. Tyler gave us an update on the comprehensive planning process and hoped to have more information in the coming weeks as the CAC was set to hold it's final meeting of the year on Wednesday, November 16, 2022.
