August 12 Public Hearing Scheduled for Joint Comprehensive Plan

HIAWASSEE, Ga  – A public hearing concerning the comprehensive plan is scheduled for August 12 at City Hall, starting at 7 p.m.

The joint comprehensive plan outlines goals for the future of Hiawassee, Young Harris, and Towns County as a whole. It’s updated every five years.

Public input helps city and county officials determine the path Towns County will take for the next five to ten years.

Often by clearly stating certain goals within the document, it becomes easier for counties and cities to be considered for certain grant funding.

Citizens are also encouraged to complete a quick survey to help inform the direction of the comprehensive plan: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/W7MHXXN?fbclid=IwAR0jUmN8qKUQ15Fv2dowkFXpfqYr2xq7aUsFAIfpafto_UdjTyElZmPgV0U
