On March 1, 2023, the Board of County Commissioners requested staff to initiate the process to create the Valrico Community Plan.
A Community Plan is intended to be an extension and refinement of the County’s Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is general in nature and provides guidance on issues county-wide. A Community Plan is more detailed in nature and intended to provide specific recommendations on issues raised by local stakeholders.
The Plan will be developed in a process that involves the community at each phase and discusses the special and unique characteristics of Valrico. Your participation and feedback helps the Plan examine the issues and opportunities facing the area, provide localized strategies, and portray a shared vision for the future.
