Craven County is seeking proposals from qualified, professional consultants who will assist the County in creating a Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The existing Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the County was developed in 2009, with no amendments or updates occurring since then. There have been significant changes to Craven County and surrounding areas since the plan’s original inception.

The selected consultants will assist the County in the development of a CAMA certified comprehensive land use plan that incorporates land use, transportation and hazard mitigation plans previously adopted by Craven County. Critical elements of this plan shall include goals for responsible development and natural resource conservation while creating the policy framework for intelligent growth over a 20-year planning horizon. The consultant(s) awarded this contract will have the primary responsibility of developing the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and will work in coordination with the Craven County Planning & Inspections Department.
