Anyone who wants to learn more about how Hanover plans for future development of the County is invited to apply for the Citizens Planning Academy, which will be held on five evenings beginning January 31, 2019.
 

The Academy will provide each participant with a planning framework that is specific to Hanover County.  A primary goal of the Academy is the enhancement of citizen knowledge about the planning process, the legal foundations of planning and the role citizens can play in developing a dialogue regarding Hanover County’s future.

The class will be limited to no more than 30 participants and will meet from 6:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. on the following dates: 

January 31

February 4

February 11

February 21

February 25

Each session is expected to last about two and one-half hours. Participants will be recognized by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors on March 27 at 6 p.m.

A nominal fee of $30 per participant is required to cover the cost of materials and refreshments.  It is important that each class member understands the time commitment involved.  If warranted, Hanover County may hold additional Planning Academies in future years to accommodate individuals unable to attend this session.

Applications will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 18.  Applicants selected to participate will be notified by the Hanover County Planning Office shortly thereafter.
