The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday approved forwarding the draft 2040 Unified Plan to the state Department of Community Affairs and the Atlanta Regional Commission for review.
The 2040 Unified Plan, also known as a comprehensive plan, contains analysis, policies, maps and proposals to help guide progress and development countywide on multiple fronts through 2040. It was crafted after months of public input from stakeholder meetings, open house information sessions across the county, intercept interviews at parks and surveys.
The Unified Plan provides a blueprint of how the county’s residents and other stakeholders would like to see Gwinnett grow and develop over the next 22 years. Broad in its scope, the plan addresses community goals, needs and opportunities, housing, transportation, economic development and land use and establishes a community work program.
Other plans are incorporated into the Unified Plan, including the county’s recently approved Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Connect Gwinnett: Transit Plan, Countywide Trails Master Plan and water and sewer plans.
The final plan will be adopted by Gwinnett Commissioners in Feb. 2019.
