🌾**Did You Know?**🌾

In 2017, Lafayette County was designated an **Agri-Ready County** by Missouri Farmers Care.

The Agri-Ready designation recognizes counties that support agriculture, encourage responsible growth and welcome opportunities for farmers, producers and agricultural businesses.

Agriculture remains an essential part of Lafayette County’s identity, economy and future. We are proud to support the people and businesses that keep our agricultural community strong.

The future of Lafayette County is worth planning for.

Lafayette County’s Planning and Economic Development Office is reviewing the County’s Land Development Code, and we want to hear from the people who know Lafayette County best: the residents, farmers, business owners, builders, property owners, and community partners who call this place home.

This review is about more than rules on paper. It is about making sure our code reflects who we are, what we value, and how we want to guide future decisions. The goal is to support thoughtful, responsible land use while preserving the rural character, agricultural heritage, small-town feel, and quality of life that make Lafayette County special.

Over the coming months, we will be looking at how the current code addresses housing, agriculture, local businesses, infrastructure, land use, and development procedures. Public feedback will help us identify what is working, what is outdated, and what can be improved.

We invite residents, property owners, farmers, business owners, builders, developers, and community partners to share their thoughts.

What should Lafayette County protect?
What should stay the same?
What needs to work better?
What do you want Lafayette County to look like in 10, 20, or 30 years?

More information about public feedback opportunities will be shared soon.
