About ten residents voiced views on the Warren County Comprehensive Plan at a planning commission hearing as officials seek citizen input before presenting the plan to the board of supervisors.

Marilyn Klein urged upgrade of zoning and infrastructure controls to manage density and cited a projected county population of 21,000 by 2000, with growth possibly reaching that level by 1980 based on 1970–80 trends.
