2045 Comprehensive Plan
Welcome to the Winona County Comprehensive Plan update website!
Over the next year, Winona County will be updating its Comprehensive Plan. The Plan helps decide how our community will grow, develop, and stay healthy for the next 20 years. The current Comprehensive Plan was prepared and passed by the Winona County Board in 2014. Now we need to update it to deal with today’s issues, set our priorities, and follow Minnesota law. This Comprehensive Plan will particularly focus on the townships within Winona County.

November 2025 Update
The first round of engagement events was wrapped up last month. In total, the project team engaged over 500 community members since the summer, using both online and in-person means. Using the feedback received at these events, the project team has worked with the Steering Committee to develop nine draft goals for the updated plan, which are available for review on the Share Your Ideas Page.
After we hear from you regarding the draft goals for the Plan, we will dive into the details and identify specific objectives that will support each goal. Then, we will propose implementation actions to address each objective, helping to achieve the overall goals of the plan. Once these are ready, we will share the drafts with the community and provide additional opportunities for comment.
