As you may be aware, Oconee County (coordinating with Bishop, Bogart, North High Shoals, and Watkinsville) has begun the process of updating the Comprehensive Plan. The State requires this update every five years, and the last update was in 2018. The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that guides local government decisions related to development. This Open House drop-in meeting will include opportunities to reflect on the proposed goals, character area maps, and work plan items for the 2023 Joint Comprehensive Plan.

After this Open House, the process of revising the draft Comprehensive Plan update document will continue according to public feedback. We sincerely hope you will be able to take the time to provide support through your expertise and knowledge about your community.
