Public Forum Scheduled On Work Of Oconee County Comprehensive Plan Joint Stakeholders Committee

The public will have the opportunity on July 27 to see the work of the Joint Stakeholders Committee that is deliberating on the update to the Oconee County Comprehensive Plan.

The county has rescheduled the public forum for 6 p.m. at the Community Center at Oconee Veterans Park, 3500 Hog Mountain Road.

Justin Crighton, planner with the Northeast Georgia Regional Commission who is helping the county draft the 2018 Comprehensive Plan, earlier had set the meeting for July 25, but that date conflicts with the agenda-setting meeting of the county Board of Commissioners.

The public forum is to provide an update on the work of the Stakeholders Committee so the public has a chance to voice its opinion before the Committee completes its report for final public and then Commission approval later this year.

The format for the meeting on July 27 will be drop-in, meaning there will be no formal presentation but the public will be able to react to documents created by Crighton based on the work of the citizen committee.
