Land Use and Development

The following information on land use and development has been excerpted from Benton County’s Comprehensive Plan (1998). Benton County's economic base is "bi-modal," i.e., it is principally supported by two independent legs: a Hanford leg on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hanford Site, and the commercial agriculture leg, off the Site. The landscape of the county reflects this bi-modal characteristic.
