AND MANAGEMENT
PLAN POTTAWATOMIE COUNTY 2040

Capital investments in public infrastructure such as utilities and roads signal the desired
locations for growth and revitalization, help maintain a high quality of life for residents, and
create a framework for land development. Development regulations govern new subdivision
activity, provide for the appropriate use of land through zoning, and set minimum standards
for the nature and quality of development. The County can also choose to employ financing
and special district mechanisms that advance the County’s economic development and growth management
goals while supporting beneficial private development and reinvestment. Finally, effective oversight and
management of ongoing growth and revitalization also depends on solid partnerships with other key public
agencies, including the Rural Water Districts, School Districts, KDOT, FHMPO, and neighboring counties and
cities, among others.
The Growth Capacity and Management section focuses on current, near-term and long-range infrastructure
needs and priorities in Pottawatomie County. Many of these are outward focused, involving regional partners
and coordination. An overarching concern involves the ability to fund and maintain a high-quality level of
services in the midst of growth pressures in the Green Valley area.
