Oak Harbor assembling comprehensive plans

OAK HARBOR – Oak Harbor officials, together with the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee, started the process of developing a Comprehensive Community Plan. Oak Harbor’s last comprehensive plan is several decades old and it was deemed necessary by community officials to develop comprehensive plan to help plan and coordinate the many great things currently happening in the community.

The purpose of the plan is to create a shared vision for the community to preserve and build on its heritage while giving direction for desirable growth and development. The new plan will help community officials in areas such as neighborhoods, economic development, downtown and riverfront revitalization, parks and recreation, infrastructure, and community facilities.

According to Mayor Quinton Babcock, the planning process will culminate into a Plan of Action that coordinates the great things going on in the community and orchestrates better ways for the Oak Harbor to be more resilient, resourceful, and interconnected to its assets like the Portage River. Beginning May 12, residents will be able to participate in a brief survey. A link to this survey can found on the home page of Oak Harbor’s website (www.oakharbor.oh.us) or by clicking here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PlanOakHarbor.
