About the Prowers County Comprehensive Plan and Code Update
Prowers County created this Engagement Hub in the fall of 2023 to be a central hub for the community to share their ideas and be involved with planning for Prowers County's future. This page will offer online involvement opportunities and highlight key ways to get involved throughout the Plan process to ensure that we hear from everyone who would like to participate.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Comprehensive Plan (The Plan) is an overarching policy document that articulates the community’s vision for the future of Prowers County. The Plan is developed by and for the community through robust public engagement, which is then translated into a policy framework that guides development over the planning period (10-20 years). A Comprehensive Plan is not a regulatory document and solely intends to provide recommendations, from the community and for the County.
Prowers County has changed over the last 20 years. This effort to update the 2003 Comprehensive Plan will reevaluate the community’s values and preferences for change in the future. The updated Plan will reflect the historic aspects of the County that the community wants to keep while adapting to new trends, industries, and ideas.
The City of Lamar is also updating its Comprehensive Plan. That process and plan will encompass the area within City limits and areas immediately surrounding the City. The Prowers County Comprehensive Plan Update encompasses all areas of the County that are not within a municipal boundary (Lamar, Holly, Wiley, Granada, and Hartman). While the plans are separate, the City and the County are working together to promote shared goals and create a cohesive vision for the future, particularly with regard to the areas just outside of the city.
