Comprehensive Plan

The Rockingham County Comprehensive Plan is an official public document that serves as the county-wide guide for future decisions regarding development, preservation, public facilities, and other key components of community life. To keep the plan current, it is periodically reviewed; the last review was approved by the Board of Supervisors on September 23, 2015.
