The next public participation open house for Envision Jefferson 2035 (the update to the Jefferson County Comprehensive Plan) will be held on Monday, Feb. 10 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Page Jackson Elementary School, 370 Page Jackson Rd., Charles Town.

The primary focus of this open house will be to present the recommended future land uses for seven identified preferred growth areas in Jefferson County. These growth areas were generated based on input from the public at Public Participation Workshops in July and October. Attendees will be able to view the proposed future land use maps of these areas and make comments on each. There will be no formal presentation, so residents will be able to come and go at their leisure.
