Comprehensive Plan

In 2007, the City of Paducah completed a major update of the Comprehensive Plan, a document required by Kentucky State Law.  The plan was amended in 2012 and readopted in 2017. It serves as a road map for the future of the community and should guide decisions on all levels of government.
