The only constant in community and other living systems is that they constantly change, so it is vital that the comprehensive plan be updated to maintain relevancy to our current and future community. It is important to maintain an up-to-date idea of community preferences, demographics, and market conditions so the comprehensive plan can be a reliable guide to help us navigate that inevitable change. Additionally, for various funding, permitting, and incentive programs administered by the State of Georgia, it is required that comprehensive plans be updated every five years.
