Welcome

Welcome to the Glenn County General Plan Update website. The General Plan is a long-range planning document that is considered the County's “constitution” or blueprint, because it guides growth, traffic patterns, housing, and resources conservation. This website provides up-to-date information on the General Plan Update process.

The General Plan update process was completed in July 2023, following a multi-year process that involved extensive community outreach. On July 18, 2023, the Glenn County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the General Plan Update and certify the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR).
