The Planning Commission finally began its review of the Comprehensive Plan last Wednesday.

County Administrator John McCarthy presented draft copies of the first two chapters to commission members, and they had few changes to suggest.

The introductory chapter covers the challenge of managing growth, the state legislative background for the Comprehensive Plan as the guiding document to meet that challenge, and the history of planning in the county and county government.! The second chapter deals with environmental factors such as the location, history, geology, climate, topography, soils and forests of the county.

Under history, the plan mentions five villages (Amissville, Chester Gap, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Woodville) and the town of Washington. Bonnie Lofton asked why Laurel Mills was not mentioned as a village.
