Kenton County, Kentucky: The Kenton County Planning Commission (KCPC) announced that their strategic partner, TPMA, will lead upcoming public engagement open houses for feedback on recommended changes to the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The proposed changes are a reflection of public input from residents and groups throughout the County during a yearlong public engagement effort. These open houses will offer residents of Kenton County the opportunity to review the recommendations and offer additional feedback.
“There are many issues that face the residents we heard from. However, regardless of what part of the county we were in, the need for income-aligned housing was the top issue expressed,” says Andy Videkovich, Planning Manager at Planning and Development Services (PDS). “The County’s Comprehensive Plan is the foundation in which all public and private decisions about development should be made. The recommendations of this plan will set the tone for development within Kenton County for the next 15 to 20 years, and it is vitally important they reflect our collective vision for the future.”
There will be three open house meetings throughout the County on following dates and locations:
• Tuesday, May 7, Kenton County Government Center, Kenton Chambers (2nd Floor), 1840 Simon Kenton Way, Covington, KY 41011
• Wednesday, May 8, Erlanger City Building Council Chambers, 505 Commonwealth Ave, Erlanger, KY 41018
• Thursday, May 9, Independence Senior and Community Center, 2001 Jack Woods Parkway, Independence, KY 41051
All meetings will be from 4:00 to 7:00 PM. For more information on the Comprehensive Plan Update process, visit https://kcpcky.org/maps-plans-and-studies/2024-comprehensive-plan-update.
