Roswell Seeks Resident Input On 2040 Plan

ROSWELL, GA — Roswell wants to hear your vision for the city’s future.

The city is in the public input stage of its 2040 comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a high-level planning document that seeks to unify the direction and policy of economic development, housing, transportation, natural resources, land use, green space and more.

The plan will also create visions for some locations throughout the city, so they better fit market conditions.

It all comes down to what residents want in their city and it’s never been easier to give it.

Through a series of online meetings and an online portal, the city will collect resident input on what needs to change and what should stay the same. The online portal allows residents to place pins on a map of the city and give their opinions of what is good, bad, and how it should change. The city’s consultant, Pond and Company, will collect this input and formulate a plan for the future with City of Roswell staff.

Every five years, the city updates the maps using feedback from residents. That becomes the basis for future land use and planning within the city. Roswell’s plan was last updated in 2016.

“This is an opportunity to have a say in what your community will look like in the future,” said Jackie Deibel, Roswell’s Planning and Zoning Director. “We want residents to give us their input on how they want Roswell to look in 20 years.
