Leading the Coast of Georgia Into the Future 

Regional planning communicates a shared vision for the future of Georgia's coast, guiding the development of policies and projects that promote a high quality of life for all residents. These plans address critical issues such as infrastructure, environmental stewardship, growth management, economic development, and the preservation of agricultural and natural resources. By focusing on regional priorities, we aim to create a resilient and sustainable region for generations to come.

The State of Georgia has identified regional planning as a cornerstone for fostering quality growth. Under the leadership of the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), each regional commission is tasked with preparing a regional plan that identifies regional challenges and opportunities, offering solutions that address both local and regional needs. These plans serve as a blueprint for coordination among local governments, public agencies, and stakeholders, ensuring that actions taken at the local level are aligned with broader regional goals.

Our Coastal Georgia Regional Plan is a key example of this collaborative approach. It not only serves as a roadmap for the region’s growth but also as a tool for fostering cooperation across the coast, encouraging communities to work together toward sustainable development.
