Georgia

Summary: Georgia’s 1989 Planning Act requires municipalities to submit comprehensive growth plans. All plans must incorporate a community assessment, community participation program and a community agenda. In 2005, the Act was amended to include four planning levels: Minimal, Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. The required level for a given municipality is based on population and growth rate. All urban communities are held to the highest planning level.
