In response to high growth demands and concerns raised by the community, Supervisor Gordy introduced a directive to evaluate the Vint Hill Road area and initiate the Vint Hill Corridor Small Area Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to evaluate the many critical land development issues, including, but not limited to, housing, transportation, economic development, and identify levels of service to achieve social equity and environmental justice.

Respecting Community Character While Planning for the Future

The Plan aims to guide balanced growth by integrating appropriate agricultural, industrial, commercial, office, and residential uses while reinforcing the Vint Hill Corridor’s rural identity. As the area faces increasing development pressure, the Vint Hill Road Corridor Small Area Plan’s approach will focus on thoughtful transitional growth that complements the land, reflects community values, and maintains the open, community-oriented character that residents cherish.

Hearing Every Voice

Local input is key. Through meetings, charrettes, and outreach, neighbors, landowners, and business owners will help shape the plan. It’s not just about maps and zoning; it’s about what kind of place we want the Vint Hill Corridor to be for the next generation.

Engaging the Next Generation

Young people are a vital part of Vint Hill’s future, and their voices matter in shaping it. This plan will create opportunities for youth to participate in meaningful ways; through school partnerships, hands-on activities, and creative outreach tailored to their interests. Whether it’s offering input on parks, trails, transportation, or what makes their community feel welcoming, youth engagement will help ensure the plan reflects the hopes and needs of the next generation who will live, work, and grow here.

Turning Ideas Into Action

This won’t just be another document on a shelf. The final plan will come with a timeline, and tools for investment and implementation. County leaders will use this roadmap to guide decisions well into the future.

Honoring History and Culture

This area is rich with stories, landmarks, and historic places. The plan will make sure these treasures are identified, respected, and woven into the future vision of the Vint Hill Corridor.

Planning Smart Infrastructure, Not Just More Development

Instead of letting growth happen haphazardly, the plan will lay out where roads, utilities, and community services should go or expand; making sure growth pays its way and doesn’t burden existing residents. Whether you're driving to work, taking the kids to school, or enjoying a country ride, the plan also will outline improvements to roads, intersections, and paths.

Supporting Rural Economic Development and Local Character

The Vint Hill Corridor’s rural identity is shaped by its landscapes, traditions, and the small businesses that serve the community. This plan will support rural economic development by promoting small-scale, locally rooted enterprises such as agritourism, rural hospitality, historic resource-based ventures, activation, and placemaking. These efforts aim to strengthen the local economy in ways that align with the community’s values and natural surroundings. Land use strategies will encourage creativity, prioritize community identity, and create opportunities for economic growth that honor the area’s setting and way of life benefiting both residents, businesses, and visitors.

Promoting Environmental Justice for All

Everyone deserves clean air, safe water, and access to natural spaces, regardless of where they live or their background. This plan will aim to ensure that no part of the community is unfairly burdened by environmental risks or left out of decisions about land use and infrastructure. By identifying areas with environmental vulnerabilities and listening to historically underserved voices, the plan will work toward more equitable outcomes. Protecting the environment will go hand-in-hand with protecting people, especially those who’ve had the least influence in planning decisions in the past.
