Campbell County Invites Public Participation in Comprehensive Plan Update
RUSTBURG, VA - The Campbell County Department of Community Development is inviting residents, business owners, and stakeholders to help shape the future of Campbell County by participating in the County's Comprehensive Plan update.
As required by the Code of Virginia § 15.2-2223, localities are required to review their Comprehensive Plans at least once every five years. Campbell County's Comprehensive Plan serves as a long-range guide for growth, development, infrastructure investments, public services, and land use decisions. While updated every five years, the plan helps establish a vision for the community over the next 25 years.
As part of the update process, the Department of Community Development has launched a public survey themed "Tradition Meets Tomorrow," reflecting the County's commitment to preserving the values and character that make Campbell County unique while planning for future opportunities and growth.
The survey seeks public input on topics including housing, transportation, economic development, education, public safety, recreation, natural resources, infrastructure, and overall quality of life. Residents will be asked to identify what they value most about Campbell County today, what should be preserved for future generations, and what priorities should guide the County into the future.
"Campbell County's new brand, Tradition Meets Tomorrow, perfectly reflects the purpose of this planning effort," said Brian Stokes, Community Development & Public Works Director. "The Comprehensive Plan is our community's roadmap for the future. We want to hear from residents about what they cherish today, what challenges they see ahead, and what kind of Campbell County they want future generations to inherit."
Residents are encouraged to complete the survey online by visiting www.campbellcountyva.gov and selecting the Comprehensive Plan Update feature on the homepage.
In addition to the online survey, comments may be submitted through the following methods:

The current Comprehensive Plan is available for public review on the County website. Community Development staff encourage residents to familiarize themselves with the document and consider how Campbell County should balance growth, economic opportunity, infrastructure needs, environmental stewardship, and community character over the coming decades.
"The success of this process depends on community participation," said Katherine "Kate" Reusch, Planner. "Whether you've lived here your entire life or recently made Campbell County your home, your perspective matters. We want this plan to reflect the priorities and aspirations of the people who live, work, and invest in our community."
Following the public engagement process, Community Development staff will prepare updates to the Comprehensive Plan for review by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Public hearings will be held before adoption of the final plan.
