Blueprint For DeKalb 2035 Laid By Residents

DEKALB COUNTY, GA — The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted the 2035 comprehensive plan recently, which will shape the future of the county's infrastructure, economic development and more.

The comprehensive plan — a blueprint for future development over the next 20 years in DeKalb County — was developed by residents and addresses a variety of issues, including land use, housing, historic preservation and transportation.

"During the development process of the plan, the community had the opportunity to guide land use and development to meet the county's projected future needs in terms of community goals, opportunities and work programs," a news release said.

The comprehensive plan five-year update is a state-mandated document, required by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs every five to 10 years. The most recent update includes a new layout, updated demographics, recently-adopted county plans, details on broadband internet, a report of accomplishments and a Community Work Program update.
