Augusta Community 2035 Comprehensive Public Planning Meetings Announced
From the Augusta Planning and Development Team:
AUGUSTA, Ga. – Residents of Augusta-Richmond County are invited to attend community meetings to help PLAN OUR FUTURE FOR HOW WE LIVE, WORK, SHOP AND PLAY. These community meetings will guide the Augusta Planning and Development Department in updating the Comprehensive Plan through 2035. The current Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2008 and focused on growth and land development through 2030. This 2035 Comprehensive Plan Update will provide a unified vision and goals for growth and land development that will serve as a blueprint to guide how and where growth will occur through 2035.
The Augusta Planning and Development Department, on behalf of the Augusta Planning Commission will host four (4) community meetings during May 2018. These meetings are designed to encourage county residents, property owners, business owners and others to give input into future plans that will focus on:
- Augusta’s Vision for Quality of Life and Economic Development
- How do we improve your neighborhoods
- Where will growth and development occur
- How do we plan for community facilities, public services, utilities, streets, parks and recreation?
- How we make land use and zoning decisions.
Residents will have two options to participate; attend a meeting at a location nearest you or participate in our online public forum. The public online forum will be available during each community meeting via the internet with Go To Meeting and dialing a teleconference line.
