The Barry County 2040 "Live Better" Master Plan 

Barry County, McKenna, and Harvey Consulting

The plan includes robust market analysis for housing, retail, and industrial space, with the calculations culminating in the acreage of land that should be set aside in each category. The County Framework is a less detailed version of the Future Land Use Map, combining Future Land Use categories into the broad visions of “Preserve”, “Enhance”, and “Grow” that more clearly express the overall intent of the Plan, and help the county planning commission make zoning decisions with both local character and regional goals in mind. Jurors said, "Due to the County’s proximity to several major job centers, it was important for the County to respond to the needs of a growing population and economy while also planning for the preservation of its natural assets, rural character, and agricultural systems."  MAP congratulates Barry County, McKenna, and Harvey Consulting!
