Comprehensive Plan Update 

An Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) representative and City of Lilburn staff presented an update of the Comprehensive Plan 2019. This presentation at the City Council Meeting was the second public input opportunity in the planning process. The first took place in September 2018. City Council approved the transmittal of the draft document to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA).
Every 5 years municipalities are required to update their Comprehensive Plan. The city announced the planning process and timeline at April's City Council Meeting. The Comprehensive Plan sets the direction and focus for planning for the city for the next five years. A Steering Committee comprised of 8-10 Lilburn resident volunteers have been meeting over the past few months to identify assets and challenges, identify goals, and help develop a plan. A draft of the Comprehensive Plan will be available for residents to view at Lilburn City Hall and on the city's website. Vote: 4-0
