Smyrna residents are invited to the first public workshop for the “Guide Smyrna 2040” Comprehensive Plan update 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 16, at Brawner Hall, 3180 Atlanta Road, Smyrna.

They are asked to learn about the planning process and discuss what the city should look like in 2040 and Smyrna’s top opportunities and challenges.

City officials are updating this plan as the overarching policy and implementation guide for future growth and development.

The process will focus on future land use and also address transportation, housing and economic development over the next 20 years.

Guide Smyrna will build upon the overall vision set by the 2014 Vision Plan, land use policy established in the city’s existing 2030 Comprehensive Plan that was adopted in 2007 and other Smyrna planning efforts.

Other community meetings will be:

  • Public Workshop 2: 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. March 21, also at Brawner Hall.
  • Public Engagement: Spring Jonquil Festival on April 29 and 30.
