“It’s crucial that we balance our ability to serve the citizens in Urban Services Areas with the protection of our rural spaces and natural and historic resources,” said Chairman of the Board Gary Snellings, Hartwood District. “We are asking the citizens to tell us what they want as the County moves into the future with a growing population.”
Recently, the County has seen a rising trend of residential development in rural areas without the proper infrastructure to provide Stafford’s excellent level of service to residents. That development coupled with a 16% rise in the County’s population since 2010 prompted the Board of Supervisors to redouble its efforts in examining healthy growth to channel development in areas more suited to it. A consultant is assisting the County with the gathering of data and the community engagement portion of the analysis.
Two facilitated roundtable discussions are planned for healthy growth stakeholders. The participants were selected by criteria approved at the Board meeting on March 5. The meetings are open to the public but only invited stakeholders will participate in the discussion.
