Virginia Counties are required to update their Comprehensive Plans every five years, and Greene County last updated its Plan in 2003. A Comprehensive Plan sets the framework for how land is used, identifies improvements to the transportation network and provides a useful guide for many other County programs and needs.
The 2009 update to Greene County’s Comprehensive Plan will provide a new vision and set of goals for future growth and development, review and potentially revise the future land use map and make recommendations for implementation, focusing on planning and funding strategies.

With a Virginia Department of Transportation Multimodal Planning Grant, Greene County and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission worked with the Renaissance Planning Group to study the US 29 corridor from the Albemarle County line to Ruckersville and the US 33 corridor from the Orange County Line to the western end of the Stanardsville bypass.This study analyzed future growth patterns and developed multimodal transportation solutions for the US 29 and 33 corridors to accommodate that growth. It includes strategies for improvements to 29 and 33, a better-connected network of local roads to protect through-capacity, pedestrian and bicycle improvements in the developing areas, improved business access, and coordination between Greene County Transit and regional transit service.
Where we choose to live and work matters. How our places are connected matters. As part of the Corridor Study, Renaissance Planning Group worked with the County to develop a preferred growth scenario through a series of community workshops. Scenario planning is an opportunity to create and test how different land use patterns affect our transportation system. Scenario planning helps us understand where and how we can improve roads and mobility in our community.
Findings and recommendations from this multimodal study can be used as inputs to the comprehensive plan update.
