Boulder County Planning Commission will meet virtually on Wednesday, January 20, 2021

The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) Mid-Term Update is undergoing review by Boulder County as part of a long-time Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the City of Boulder. The mid-term update is not a major update, and its purpose is to ensure that the comprehensive plan—which took place on 2015 and undergoes a major update every 10 years—is on track and only considers minor changes in policy, map changes, and other amendments.

The Planning Commission will be meeting virtually starting at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, January 20, 2021. View the agenda.

What: Boulder County Planning Commission Public Meeting
When: 2 p.m. Wednesday, January 20, 2021
