The last two comprehensive plan meetings are scheduled in Habersham County in early September.
The county and its municipalities have been working on these plans for several months. The state requires local governments to have comprehensive plans to help shape and coordinate local work programs and future development.
The Georgia Mountains Regional Commission (GMRC) is assisting the county with the process, as well as Clarkesville, Alto, Cornelia, Demorest, and Mount Airy.
“These planning processes are designed to ensure that major projects and policies for the community are developed with public input, ensuring a level of coordination between local and State level interests,” GMRC states.
Habersham will hold a joint plan meeting from 6-7:30 p.m. on September 5 at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic Center in Clarkesville.
Cornelia will hold its final comprehensive plan meeting from 7-8 p.m. on September 7 at Cornelia City Hall.
The public is invited to attend these meetings to review the draft documents, ask questions, and offer input into the plans.
