Why complete the comprehensive planning process?

​

The process seeks to engage all members of the community to create a more prosperous, convenient, equitable, healthy and attractive place for present and future generations. The citizens of the community should have a say in the future of their community. A comprehensive review of community's issues and policies promote discussion among citizens and can prevent unintended consequences that may occur when decisions are made without this insight. When WCNDD completes a comprehensive plan, there are several ways citizen input is obtained. Nebraska Department of Economic Development finds the plans useful and considers the information within the plan for certain grant opportunities.
