The 2024 Comprehensive Plan for Kenton County

The 2024 Comprehensive Plan is the official comprehensive plan for Kenton County. KRS 100 requires that the plan be updated every five (5) years.  The 2024 Comprehensive Plan guides growth and development in Kenton County and outlines goals, objectives, and implementation strategies aimed at making Kenton County a great place to live. The Plan is centered on public input, so residents’ needs and desires essentially shape the future of their community to create a vibrant, sustainable, economically competitive place to live and work.

When Direction2030.org was adopted in 2014, it represented a new kind of plan, one that exists only online. The 2024 Comprehensive Plan has also been adopted as an on-line document to be the sole centralized source that people can use anywhere, anytime, with confidence that they are learning about the official plan for the county. It provides a platform designed to highlight the interrelatedness of topics and share content in new methods like online interactive mapping. Even in its digital form, the 2024 Comprehensive Plan is a standalone document that cannot be edited without formal approval from the Kenton County Planning Commission.

Small Area Studies

Small Area Studies are a comprehensive approach to planning at a “neighborhood” level. The intent of these studies are to take an in-depth look at various elements such as existing conditions, land use, and market potential.
