In 2016, Shawnee County began a process to prepare a long-range Comprehensive Plan for the unincorporated area. The Comprehensive Plan will provide a guide for orderly growth that balances environmental values and reasonable development demand over the next 20-years. As such, the Plan will provide a working framework for community development.

On October 15, 2018, the Shawnee County Board of Commissioners adopted Home Rule Resolution No. 2018-2, approving the 2038 Shawnee County Comprehensive Plan. The adopted plan can be downloaded by clicking HERE.
