A proposed revision to Scott County's organ ordinance is on the table, as officials consider adjusting land use goals to better reflect economic realities. During the Scott County Fiscal Court Work Session on June 6, 2025, discussions highlighted the need to reassess the current target of managing 60,000 acres, which represents one-third of the county's total land area.
One official suggested setting a more achievable goal, proposing a target of 2,500 to 3,000 acres over the next decade. This shift aims to align land management practices with economic viability, ensuring that the county's resources are utilized effectively.
In addition to land use, the meeting also addressed the ongoing RV moratorium. Officials are reviewing Scott County's RV ordinance, which was previously vacated. A stakeholders group has been formed to draft new regulations, but more time is needed to finalize these discussions. The moratorium, initially set to end in June, may require an extension to allow for thorough consideration of the proposed changes.
These discussions reflect Scott County's commitment to responsible land management and regulatory reform, with officials eager to balance growth and sustainability in the community.
