Project Description:

Community Planning Strategies collaborated with SCJ Alliance to revise the Comprehensive Plan for Montrose County, Colorado. This region, like many others in the state, is experiencing significant growth and is increasingly focused on maintaining its quality of life and preserving its remarkable environmental landscape. The residents of Montrose County were particularly invested in fostering economic prosperity, maintaining their strong connection to the working landscape, and protecting the ecosystems and natural settings that are crucial to the region’s economy. In this effort, CPS and SCJ Alliance engaged deeply with the community to gather a range of perspectives and aspirations that will help shape a vision for the county’s future. CPS also worked on a zoning code audit, to see where the current code aligns and where it doesn’t with the Comprehensive Plan recommendations.
