Farmville Land Use Plan Update

The Town of Farmville is updating its Land Use Plan. The previous plan was adopted in 2006 and can be viewed here. The Land Use Plan will guide future development, preservation efforts, services and infrastructure priorities for the next 5 to 10 years. The plan will address land use and development design, economic development, housing, parks and recreation, infrastructure and other key topics. The update process began in May of 2021 and will include stakeholder interviews and public involvement opportunities later this Summer and in the Fall. Visit the project website at www.farmvillelanduseplan.com for more information!

The Planning board will be holding a meeting on October 20th from 5:00pm-7:00pm in which the Land Use Plan will be discussed. We’d love to have your input. Please fill out the survey at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FarmvilleNC
