Welcome to the Kershaw County Planning Commission’s Comprehensive Plan Review Website
The Kershaw County Planning Commission is leading the next phase of the Comprehensive Plan update, and we need your input!
Now that the County’s consultants have provided a draft plan, it’s our job to refine and improve it to ensure it truly reflects the needs and vision of our community. Over the next six months, we will review the draft, make strategic revisions, and incorporate public feedback before final adoption.
This website is an independent effort by the Planning Commission to gather direct input from residents, business owners, and stakeholders. While the County has its own website for the process, this is where you can actively shape the final version of the plan.
Your voice matters! Review the draft and submit your feedback here.
