The community is invited to a public forum to review the draft of Comprehensive Plan jointly developed by McCracken County and the City of Paducah. This joint comprehensive plan will guide area development, redevelopment, and enhancement efforts over the next 10 to 20 years.
The public forum will be Wednesday, November 13 from 5:30 until 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Paducah-McCracken County Convention Center located at 415 Park Avenue. Attendees can view displays about the draft plan, hear a presentation at 5:45 p.m. by planning consultant Kendig Keast Collaborative, and visit with City and County leaders and staff. The slide presentation will be rolling on the monitors during the open house. Plus, the slides will be available to view online after the event.
Written comments will be accepted during the public forum and online through Sunday, November 17. To review the draft Comprehensive Plan and provide feedback through the online portal, click the link below.
The next steps in the process include a joint public hearing between the McCracken County Planning Commission and Paducah Planning Commission on November 19. Following the feedback from the City and County planning commissions, the plan will be considered for adoption by the McCracken County Fiscal Court and the Paducah Board of Commissioners with another public comment opportunity period.
In February 2023, the City of Paducah and McCracken County approved a 20-year interlocal cooperation agreement to establish a City/County Comprehensive Plan. Currently, each government agency has its own comprehensive plan which is required by the State to be updated every five years.
