Due to a water line break in a Newton line that serves the Government Center, the facility will be without water today, February 13, and the Radio Station Rd. entrance will be blocked.  As a result, the Government Center will be closed to the public, and employees are being asked not to work in the facility. This does not impact the Justice Center or Animal Shelter.

Catawba County Comprehensive Plan

Comprehensive Plan - Final

Adopted by the Board of Commissioners in April 2024, the Catawba County Comprehensive Plan establishes a deliberate and balanced approach to future development in Catawba County that preserves those aspects of life which make it a desirable place to live while supporting quality, focused development in appropriate areas. The Plan recognizes changing demographics, existing assets, current development patterns, and community values to provide insight and establish a vision for the coming decades. The Plan integrates seven small area plans and three corridor plans adopted in the early 2000s to mid-2010s into one inclusive document with udpated perspectives. Development of the Plan was guided by a citizen-based steering committee with input from county residents and technical staff.
