Development Engineering Services

What Does Development Engineering Services Do?

Development Engineering Services provides professional engineering reviews for new development applications to determine road and drainage requirements. This review ensures consistency with engineering standards and the County's overall plans, as well as the County's floodplain regulations. We achieve this by:

• Performing comprehensive plan review for all new development and redevelopment
• Providing guidance in surface water drainage design, environmental, transportation, and land use development
• Updating, maintaining, interpreting and implementing the Adams County Development Manual and related plans, documents, and policies
• Conducting special studies and coordinating and communicating with other departments, governments and agencies undertaking planning and plan implementation
