Comprehensive Plan
|
Planning for a Sustainable FutureOn February 11, 2005, Governor Sonny Perdue signed an Executive Order directing DCA to complete a Coastal Comprehensive Master Development Plan by September 2007. As outlined in the Executive Order, the Plan will outline a vision for Georgia’s coastal area that promotes sustainable future development without compromising the region’s valuable and vulnerable natural environment. DCA will incorporate stakeholder input to address tourism, economic development and environmental management, housing and transportation issues affecting Georgia’s coastal area as it develops the Plan.
