Lilburn residents are invited to attend a Local Comprehensive Plan 2019 Public Meeting at 4:45 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Lilburn City Hall-Library. Staff from Lilburn and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) will be available to answer questions.

The city’s new Local Comprehensive Plan will set the direction and focus for future planning in the city for the next five years. The project is being funded by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) with the assistance of the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and is provided at no charge to the city. Through this program, ARC also provides staff assistance to complete the project.

A steering committee of 8 to 10 citizen volunteers are involved in the comprehensive plan process which takes approximately ten months to complete. The kick-off and project initiation began in May. After review and public comment, a final plan will be prepared for city council approval in November. Upon Lilburn city council adoption, the plan will be forwarded to DCA for approval by February 28.
