The Policy Document establishes necessary goals, objectives, and policies for future growth and development in Monroe County. Goals are statements of general need, while objectives and policies are progressively more detailed statements about how the needs of the County's citizens will be met and carried out. The breadth of the document spans a broad range of issues from the need for habitat and endangered species protection to the need to provide adequate infrastructure (water, electric, sewer, solid waste, schools, traffic circulation, parks and recreation, and stormwater, etc.) to the need for adequate protection of the public (fire rescue, emergency management, and hurricane evacuation).
