Staff Report

Wednesday, June 1st, 2022

Macon-Bibb County Planning and Zoning Commission is continuing to hold Public Involvement Workshops throughout the community regarding the update of Macon-Bibb County’s Comprehensive Plan.  A series of public involvement meetings will be held throughout the summer to gather input from the general public.  (See below/schedule subject to change) 

The comprehensive plan is a 20 - Year plan that outlines the vision of a community by establishing community goals, identifying needs and opportunities, developing a community work program, and planning for future land use, transportation, housing and economic development opportunities.  The plan is an official document that will be adopted by the Macon – Bibb County Board of Commissioners as the vision and policy guide for land use decisions such as zoning and capital improvements, as well as an opportunity to assess current conditions relating to cultural preservation and protection of environmental resources.
