The Planning Commission of Travelers Rest is tasked with reviewing the Comprehensive Plan at least every five years. As such, the City of Travelers Rest will kick off the Comprehensive Plan Review this summer, and will review each element of the 2018 Comprehensive Plan individually during their regularly scheduled meetings, held on June 29, July 27, August 24, September 28, and October 26, 2023. Public input is encouraged at these meetings. A community survey is available here (https://forms.gle/hZUyEjzevYBFCBMs6) for the public to provide additional input during the summer and fall.
