Montrose, COLO.—Montrose County Planning Commission invites the public to attend an open house to learn about the Montrose County Master Plan update.  The event is Monday, September 9 from 4:30 pm to 7pm at the Montrose County Public Works Building (63160 LaSalle Road).  This is an opportunity for county residents to share input and learn about the master plan, view maps, and other information. 

“The master plan is a guiding document for planning and development of the unincorporated areas of the county,” said Planning and Development Director Steve White.  “The master plan was last updated in 2010 and the commissioners want to ensure the document is updated to reflect changes in the community and economy.”

The master plan is available on montrosecounty.net under the Planning and Development page.  It is a "living" document that is reviewed quarterly by the Planning Commission.  The public is an important part of the master plan update process as input is weighed and considered.  Once the updates are complete, the Planning Commission will present a draft to the Board of County Commissioner who will consider the document in a regularly scheduled board meeting.

The Montrose County Planning Director and Planning Commission board members will be available to discuss ideas, goals, and objectives.  No formal presentations will be given.  Anyone interested in sharing their input on this discussion is welcome to attend and refreshments will be provided.  For more information on the master plan, please visit https://www.montrosecounty.net/308/Master-Plan.
