OUR FINDINGS
The basis of any planning effort lies on a foundation of community involvement and in-depth study of the demographic, social, and economic conditions within a place. Hardin County's Comprehensive Development Guide will rely on community stakeholders, businesses, elected officials, and those living and working within the county to help direct the community's future vision.
