The Trumbull County Planning Commission’s unified, high performance team of professional staff members and experienced Board Members promote well-planned growth that is supported by the principles of sustainable planning and zoning, economic vitality, environmental responsibility and social equity.
The Planning Commission serves as community advisors for land use planning practices and advocates for sound growth management. Because the Planning Commission is involved in a wide range of activities with a number of partners, it plays a very important coordinating role in community development issues and projects.
The Planning Commission’s powers and duties per Ohio Revised Code include, but are not limited to, making studies, maps, plans, recommendations and reports concerning the physical, environmental, social, economic and governmental characteristics, functions, services and other aspects of planning, in order to achieve compatibility throughout the County.
The Planning Commission is also responsible for Subdivision Regulation Administration, Floodplain Administration, Community Development Block Grant, CDBG Fair Housing Administration, HUD HOME Program Administration, Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) Program Administration, CDBG Economic Development Program Administration, Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Administration, Enterprise Zone Management, Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) Establishment and Management, Zoning Recommendations, Zoning Maps, GIS Mapping, grant administration, community engagement, community surveys, demographic information and comprehensive planning.
The Planning Commission has completed plans for the majority of townships, villages, cities and Trumbull County.
