The Macon – Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission will be hosting a required first public hearing meeting to kick off the Macon – Bibb County Comprehensive Plan update on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 from 5:30PM – 7:00PM.  The meeting will be held in the Macon – Bibb County Government Center Chambers, 700 Poplar Street, Macon, Georgia.

A local comprehensive plan is a 20-Year plan which outlines the vision of a community in areas of community goals, needs and opportunities, community work program, land use, transportation, housing and economic development.  The plan is required by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for local governments to maintain “Qualified Local Government” certification so that local governments are eligible for selected state funding and programs.

The purpose of the first public hearing is to brief the community on the process to be used to develop the plan, opportunities for public participation in development of the plan, and to obtain input on the proposed planning process.

Public involvement is a critical part of the plan update and the general public is invited to attend this meeting.  Your input is valuable to the future growth of Macon – Bibb County.
