Organization Structure / Staff

The Long-Range Planning Department assists citizens envision and create a desirable community in which to live, work, play and raise families. Constraints or challenges such as finances and budget, physical, social, and environmental factors make it essential that thoughtful planning be done to ensure that the community continues to move forward efficiently and effectively. The Long Range Planning Department assists in this effort by providing research and data collection/management, and by conducting citizen-input-based planning studies that provide a framework for positive changes in the community’s quality of life.

The Department utilizes a wide variety of information much of it collected from other NKAPC departments, field research, and outside resources. Work that its staff undertakes ranges from planning projects requiring extensive research and citizen input to short-term assistance for individual citizens or groups and committees.

The goal of the Long Range Planning Department is to stay ahead of trends and to advise or provide foresight to our community on ideas, programs, and methods that can move it forward.

The department’s staff is responsible for updating the comprehensive plans of Kenton and Campbell Counties, researching specialized planning studies, conducting bicycle, pedestrian, corridor and emergency service studies.
