After four years of work, the Harvey County Planning and Zoning Department has revealed a new comprehensive plan. “It’s the big picture of what direction the county wants to go,” said Karen Rothe, director of the planning and zoning department. The county is holding a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at 7 p.m. in the county courthouse. Rothe said this is an opportunity for members of the public to give more feedback before the plan is finalized. “This is a chance for people to speak up and say, ‘I saw this was a goal in here, and I don’t agree with it,’” Rothe said. Rothe said if a majority of people expressed dislike for part of the plan, the board would go back and do more research before passing it. If the board decides to approve the plan, it will move on to the county commission for final approval. The county uses the plans as an outline for the next 20 years.
