The Henry County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution adopting the completed “Imagine Henry” Joint Comprehensive Plan 2040 Update at its regular Oct. 16 meeting.
The Henry County/Cities Joint Comprehensive Plan is an updated proposal of policies and data that aids in the county’s “big picture vision,” defines goals and lays out a list for county and city leaders, staff and citizens to place Henry County and its cities in a leading position within metro Atlanta, according to county officials. Both the Atlanta Regional Commission and Georgia Department of Community Affairs, agencies that support economic development and growth in communities, approved the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, as it met all requirements for local comprehensive planning.
The Planning and Zoning Department conducted several meetings over the course of the update process which began in 2017 to engage the public and provide an opportunity for those who wished to discuss their ideas. The update was a two-year process.
