Work starts on strategic plan for Rockfish Valley

Nelson County:
“At the Nelson County Planning Commission meeting last week, Director of Planning & Zoning Tim Padalino announced the start of work on the Rockfish Valley Area Plan — a strategic plan for the area suggested by the Nelson 151 business group at a meeting in March.

The organization said the Rockfish Valley needs a strategic plan to prepare for future business development. The plan will be a county planning project, Padalino said. He said a recently formed working group for the project was scheduled to meet last week to discuss the scope of the project, as well as a timeline and budget.

The working group includes Padalino; County Administrator Steve Carter; Nelson County Director of Finance and Human Resources Debbie McCann; clerk of the board of supervisors Candy McGarry; Sara Turner, the secretary of the county administration office; and Director of Economic Development and Tourism Maureen Kelley.

Commissioners Philippa Proulx and Linda Russell said they would like the planning commission to be involved in the planning process. Padalino said county staff is ‘being proactive’ but it might be awhile before they have a draft plan to share.”
