Land Use and Planning Services

Land use decisions can have widespread environmental impact.
The way our communities grow and develop can directly affect the health of current and future generations. Residential and commercial development can have huge impacts on regional air and water quality, wildlife, transportation, noise and pollution.

Well-planned development can have a positive impact on public health by encouraging exercise, promoting safety, utilizing natural resources sensibly and enhancing the quality of life.

Tri-County Health Department collaborates with local governments, other agencies, developers, and the public to incorporate public health considerations into planning and development activities. We encourage the inclusion of public health policies in master plans and provide public health input on development applications.

For more information, contact Carol Maclennan at (303) 846-6232.
