2023 Comprehensive Plan Update
2023 Comprehensive Plan Update
The current Comprehensive Plan was prepared in 2018 and approved by the Brunswick City Commission in October 2018.
Under Georgia Law, for a municipality or county in Georgia to receive and remain eligible for certain state funding and permitting programs, it must initially adopt and update its Comprehensive Plan every five years. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has established guidelines and procedures municipalities and counties must follow in preparing and/or updating their Comprehensive Plan. The deadline for completing and submitting a draft of the Brunswick Comp Plan update for DCA and Coastal Regional Commission reviews is August 30, 2023. The Plan must be formally adopted by the City by October 30, 2023 to meet the State and DCA requirements.
Plan Components
As directed by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, the Comprehensive Plan will guide the City of Brunswick through the creation of Community Goals – broad vision for what the community wants for its future; examining Community Needs and Opportunities – immediate challenges faced by the community; and developing a Community Work Program – to do list for addressing the challenges you identified and moving toward the vision you created. Primary areas of focus include Economic Development, Land Use, Transportation, Housing, and Capital Improvements.
The Comprehensive Plan incorporates a number of existing community driven plans that have been developed over the past few years, prioritizes their recommendations, and establishes a 10 year work plan and goals.
