The County of Northampton, Virginia, seeks proposals from qualified consulting firms to conduct a Cost of Land Uses Study. The purpose of the study is to assess projected fiscal impacts of proposed zoning ordinance revisions. The County adopted a revised Land Use Element for its Comprehensive Plan in July 2006 and is nearing completion of comprehensive zoning ordinance revisions; the draft zoning ordinance revisions are expected to be available by October 24, 2008. Public hearings on these revisions are anticipated in late fall 2008. The cost of land uses study is expected to provide an analysis of potential public costs and revenues associated with the proposed changes in land use.
