Community Meeting For Milton's 2040 Comprehensive Plan Postponed

MILTON, GA -- The kick-off community meeting for Milton's 2040 Comprehensive Plan is being postponed.

The virtual meeting - in which citizens were set to learn more about the process and offer their ideas-- had been scheduled for Thursday night via Zoom. The make-up date is still to be determined.

The decision to postpone stemmed from third-party technical issues in getting the word out about the meeting, coupled with a general desire to connect with a wider range of community members.

A municipality's Comprehensive Plan serves as a long-term guiding document for city officials - elected and otherwise - covering a 20-year span. Milton updates its Comprehensive Plan every five years, with major updates every 10 years. This is the 10-year update.

The plan covers topics like housing, environment, transportation, parks and other elements. And beyond detailing vision for everything from roundabouts to recreation, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan will dive into what makes Milton special and how best to maintain that character.

In Milton, city officials want community members - and their vital ideas - to help build on Milton's last such plan, updated in 2016, to create its 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The next community meeting will be one of several in which citizens can offer their input.
