Update on Plan Hillsborough open house meetings on Valrico Community Plan

Due to the impacts of Tropical Strom Debby, Plan Hillsborough has postponed two in-person open house sessions to provide information and get public feedback on the Valrico Community Plan.

In-person open-house sessions scheduled at the Bloomingdale Regional Library, 1906 Bloomingdale Ave., for August 3rd and August 5th have been postponed. They will be rescheduled for a later date. The virtual open house meeting from noon to 1 p.m. on August 7th is still happening. A second virtual meeting has been added from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the 7th.

The community plan is intended to serve as a detailed guide for Hillsborough County’s long-term policies for the Valrico area in areas such as development, infrastructure and transportation, focusing on specific recommendations to address issues raised by community stakeholders. It’s part of Hillsborough County’s larger Comprehensive Plan, which guides long-term policy decisions on development and preservation in unincorporated county.

The vision statement for the Valrico Community Plan is to “preserve and enhance a suburban character” during Hillsborough County’s growth. The plan has four focus areas: infrastructure, development, mobility and environment/recreation. The ongoing process of developing the community plan will create a map delineating the area included in the plan.
