Braselton recognized as “PlanFirst” community

Governor Nathan Deal and the Department of Community Affairs participated in recognizing Braselton as one of ten communities in Georgia to earn the PlanFirst designation. PlanFirst recognizes and rewards communities for a pattern of successfully implementing their Local Comprehensive Plan.

PlanFirst designation includes eligibility for a package of incentives including: bonus points on DCA programs such as the Redevelopment Fund or Employment Incentive Program or the Downtown Revolving Loan Fund, and hands-on assistance from DCA staff to help implement community work program activities.

DCA Commissioner Camila Knowles presented the honor commenting, “We notice the climates of success in these communities which plan effectively to help achieve your vision. We appreciate the planning staffs who move visions to reality.”
