The Cooper Comprehensive Plan is nearing completion. The Comprehensive Plan Committee has been working for about 16 months and is finishing the last couple of chapters. They meet at the Cathance Grange Building on the third Monday of the month from 7-9PM. We expect to submit the final draft to the State Planning Office (SPO) for review in the summer of 2010.
