Growth Management Plan
VISION 2020
PLAN PURPOSE:
The VISION 2020 PLAN is intended to act as a guide for helping elected and appointed officials of the County and the City of Sheridan as they make decisions on land use and zoning issues.
The Plan is a mandated document from the State of Wyoming that requires counties to plan for or speak to the following items, at a minimum:
- Conservation of their natural resources
- History of the county
- Population and economic trends
- Description of natural hazards
- Transportation and community services
- Suggested land uses within the county, and
- Zoning
This Growth Management Plan is intended to help area citizens define what their vision for Sheridan and Sheridan County really is and to devise workable solutions to identify such issues. The Plan provides recommendations for public investment and land use decisions that are intended to define the pattern and quality of future growth and development.
The success of seeing the vision and goals of the community come about depends on the adoption of policies; tools and regulations that will help implement such goals and vision. Also, community input, cooperation and education of the importance of our community to new comers and to future generations are vital to the perservation and prosperity of the community.
