The Wooten Company was hired in Spring 2005 by the Nash County Board of Commissioners to assist an appointed Steering Committee with development of the Nash County Land Development Plan. The land use planning process incorporated identifying issues of concern regarding land development, establishing overall goals and policies for future growth, and creating a Future Land Development Map depicting the general location of different types and densities of land uses (residential, commercial, and industrial). The first phase of the planning process included a review of existing land use plans and an inventory and analysis of historical and projected demographic and economic data along with a review of physical/environmental conditions that influence growth and development within Nash County. The second phase of the planning process included developing new policies and strategies to guide future growth. The last phase involved the development of future land use classifications and a Future Land Development Map. The Future Land Development Map delineates where different types of land uses are most appropriate by applying the policies of the Plan to the opportunities and constraints of the various physical features of the land.
