WHAT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN?

One of the fundamental responsibilities of local government is planning – a word used to describe how a community shapes and guides growth, development, and character. Updating the comprehensive plan offers communities the opportunity to look beyond the execution of day-to-day services and consider where they want to be in the future - and what has to be done to get there.

Local governments in Georgia are required to update their comprehensive plans every five years, and Smyrna's next update is due this year. Check back here regularly to get up-to-date information about the update process and to participate in engagement opportunities to help shape the comprehensive plan - and Smyrna's future!
