Background

The 2023 Comprehensive Plan is an update from the 2018 plan developed by the Three Rivers Regional Commission Planning Department. The Georgia Planning Act also assigns local governments certain minimum responsibilities to maintain "Qualified Local Government" (QLG) status and, thus, be eligible to receive certain state funding. The 2018 Comprehensive Plan was prepared under the Minimum Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning (Chapter 110-12-1) adopted by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The City of Griffin 2018 Comprehensive Plan can be found here.

Purpose

The City of Griffin Comprehensive Plan is to provide a rational basis for municipal decision-making on matters which relate to Griffin’s future, be it in terms of protecting community values, guiding growth, or providing adequate community services. The plan describes priority goals and policies that constitute a set of guidelines for municipal action and further provides strategies by which the Comprehensive Plan should be implemented over the next twenty years. The plan is intended to generate local pride and enthusiasm about the future of the community.
