Three public hearings will be held in October for public input: in Melrose on Monday, Oct. 2; in Paynesville on Thursday, Oct. 5; and in St. Joseph on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

A comprehensive plan contains long-range goals for the county for zoning, land use, natural resources, transportation, economic development, housing, recreation, and public facilities. The county has already held meetings this summer with city and township officials.

Another round of public hearings are planned for 2007 as the comprehensive plan is finalized.
