Boone County's last comprehensive land-use plan was recently completed in 1996, but with the continuing growth and development trends, it is already due to be revisited and updated. American Structurepoint is currently helping the county craft a plan that strikes a balance between future growth and a focus on agriculture as an economic industry while maintaining the rural character and quality of life that so many Boone County residents enjoy and cherish. Two key elements of the planning process for the county are the public participation strategy and the implementation plan, providing Boone County with a good plan with ingredients for success and effectiveness.
