Buford has posted a draft copy of the city’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update online at www.tinyurl.com/Buford2040. The plan is the city’s overarching policy statement and blueprint for the community’s future. It is a high-level, “big picture” look at Buford’s direction for the next 20 years. This plan replaces the 2034 update.

Key components of the plan include an assessment of existing needs and opportunities, as well as a community-driven vision for the future, with supporting goals and policies. The plan contains a series of maps and geography-based recommendations for how each part of the city should develop and a five-year work program to make that vision a reality.
