LEBANON — An effort to create a vision for Warren County's future culminated Tuesday in a decision to develop a strategic plan and move forward on nine other issues.

        The county's Regional Planning Commission, whose meeting was the setting for the third and final Warren County Planning Summit, was unanimous in its support.

        “Now the work starts,” Commissioner Pat South said.

        A laundry list of issues that will be pursued ranges from requiring developers to meet with staff before submitting plans, to the countywide strategic plan.

        But the list is just the broad outline. For instance, before doing a strategic plan — a planning tool pushed by business leaders — officials will have to decide who's paying for it, what the scope will be and what consultant will be hired to do it.

        Still, if it's completed, “Warren County should position itself well for the next five to 10 years for economic development,” said John McMinn, president of the Area Progress Council of Warren County.

        Other possible action to be pursued includes combining the townships' existing land-use plans.
