Through a LiveWell grant, CCCD updated the 2002 Bent County & City of Las Animas Comprehensive Plan. Thus, the new plan has a health perspective throughout. The end goal was to provide a clear and well-organized comprehensive plan that Bent County will use to implement policies and projects. CCCD executed and analyzed a community survey and held a series of community meetings and focus groups. Text and data from the 2002 plan was updated, adding new information, gathering images, and formatting the document.
