In the winter of 2013, the City of Chillicothe embarked on a journey to update their 2003 Comprehensive Land Use Plan with a newer, more concise, user friendly and visionary plan that the Council, Plan Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and City Staff can use to help the community make educated land use decisions. After consulting with the TCRPC about planning services, the City selected TCRPC to complete the task. TCRPC utilized available Census 2010 data and recent planning and construction activities, as well as results from a community-wide survey; held numerous task force committee meetings to develop a clear vision, goals, objectives, and action strategies to guide the community into the type of community everyone knows and believes Chillicothe can be in 15 to 20 years in the future.
