Comprehensive Plan

Why We Plan

Comprehensive planning is an important management tool for promoting a strong, healthy community. A Comprehensive Plan provides a vision, shared by all, that describes the further of the community. Planning helps us invest money wisely in infrastructure such as roads, water and sewer, schools, parks and green space, and other facilities to maintain and improve the quality of life for residents.  

Purpose

The Comprehensive Plan represents the community's vision, goals, key needs and opportunities that the community intends to address, and an action plan highlighting the necessary tools for implementing the comprehensive plan. The Comprehensive Plan serves the purpose of meeting the intent of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) "Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning," as established on March 1, 2014. Preparation in accordance with these standards is an essential requirement in maintaining status as a Qualified Local Government.
