Lilburn has developed a five-year strategic business plan to direct the city’s goals for economic development over the next decade, including a new vision statement: “We envision a vibrant city where businesses prosper, where safety is a lifestyle, and where friends share life together in a community that will span the generations.”

Goals include management of code and ordinance revisions for development and redevelopment, promoting the city through communication to the public, facilitating decisions through city leadership and reinvesting resources to shape the budget process, purchase needed properties, redevelop neighborhoods, and support development, including the effective utilization of general fund resources and the investment of tax dollars in target areas.
