It is your Future! Planning is important for each and every one of us. The Worth County comprehensive plan determines how and where Worth County and its cities (Poulan, Sumner, Sylvester and Warwick) grow.
Last updated in 1997, the Worth County Comprehensive contains the vision for how the community should develop in the future. It helps guide where shopping malls and apartments can be built, when roads should be improved, and even whether there should be a new walking trail or park near your neighborhood.
The Comprehensive Plan contains three critical components:
• Community Assessment
• Community Participation Program; and
• Community Agenda.
