Habersham County residents have two more opportunities to share their input on future development. The county this week will host the last two public meetings on its comprehensive plan.
Habersham 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 development.
The second to last meeting is set for this evening, Monday, September 5, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Ruby Fulbright Aquatic Center in Clarkesville.
The final comprehensive plan meeting will be held at Cornelia City Hall from 7 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 7.
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.
The public is invited to attend these meetings to review the draft documents, ask questions, and offer input into the plans.
