The 2040 Plan repeatedly emphasizes using growth areas to manage growth. The growth areas will allow for responsible growth while keeping rural areas rural.
The Louisa County Comprehensive Plan reflects the residents' desire for the
community to retain its rural character. Our Community Development department,
Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors review potential impacts for each
project and implement project requirements to reduce unwanted outcomes.
Learn about how businesses determine if Louisa is a viable location and how Louisa ensures an approved project will meet County needs, comply with ordinances, and fall with in line with guiding documents including the Comprehensive Plan.
Responsible development represents opportunity to strengthen our local infrastructure, financially add to public services, and diversify the local economy. The benefits listed below especially shine as businesses are planned in DESIGNATED growth areas and their impacts are mitigated.
