Our conversation today with Tyler Hinkle, Shenandoah County's Planner is part of an ongoing series following the work on Shenandoah 2045 - Shenandoah County's comprehensive plan. The planning process will unfold over the course of four years with the majority of the community collaboration occurring from 2020-2022, with input in 2023-2024.

We discuss the types of conversations and planning that's happening behind the scenes as the next draft of the comprehensive plan is being prepared. Tyler highlights the need for feasibility studies, collaboration with different organizations and agencies, and the challenges of balancing community needs and resources. He explains the significance of compromise and the complexity of planning for diverse communities within the county, emphasizing the need for thoughtful decision-making and community involvement.
