OHIO 32 CORRIDOR
LAND USE VISION PLAN

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

 

Client: Clermont County Commissioners

Location: Clermont County, Ohio

Size: 100 square miles

​

A long-range Land Use Vision Plan was prepared for the State Route 32 Corridor, an area of 70 square miles, approximately 16 miles in length and 4 to 5 miles wide.

 

The project involved a public participation process that operated on multiple levels.  A Vision Committee composed of 34 individuals was created to act as an oversight committee. They represented local political jurisdictions, the planning commission, the Chamber of Commerce, school districts, developers, industry, commerce, institutions, citizens, environmental groups, agriculture, and parks. The study area was divided into six focus areas, and additional public participation was invited from large property owners, neighborhoods and other interests within each of the focus areas.

 

The result was a consensus land use plan, reflecting the interests of local citizens. Citizens groups will guide future development, preserving the rural character of the county and promoting economic development.  

 

The goals include improving local access through the upgrading existing roads, adding new roads and  upgrading infrastructure. Additional elements include transit, a bikeway network potentially linking to the Little Miami Bike Trail, and the creation / preservation of parks and open space.
