Going Places Initiative
July 2007, MVRPC began a 4-year Regional Land Use Planning initiative titled Going Places: An Integrated Land Use Vision for the Miami Valley Region. Working with various regional stakeholders, this new initiative is to follow a 3-phase land use planning process to develop a shared future land use vision, represented by the conceptual 2040 regional growth framework for the Miami Valley Region.
The 2040 regional growth framework is not to set traditional land use designations such as future residential, commercial, or industrial areas. Rather, it is to identify areas desired and appropriate for future development, re-development and preservation.
The planning area includes Greene, Miami, and Montgomery counties and the cities of Carlisle, Franklin, and Springboro in northern part of Warren County.
- More information is available in the
Going Places Overview brochure.
The 3-Phase planning process is:
- Phase I – Existing Condition Assessment : Physical and Non-Physical Condition Evaluation (MVRPC Board of Directors Phase I Endorsement)
- Phase II – Future Landscape Exploration : Future Land Use Scenario Development and Assessment (MVRPC Board of Directors Phase II Endorsement)
- Phase III – Building a Clear and Shared Regional Land Use Framework (MVRPC Board of Directors Preferred Land Use Scenario Endorsement)
