Local Plan Review...

Local Plan Review
All local governments in Georgia must develop Comprehensive Growth Management Plans and Solid Waste Plans on a ten-year cycle.  Every five years, the implementation program of each plan must be updated.  This Short Term Work Program (STWP) update involves reviewing the previous five-year plan, developing a Report of Accomplishments and a new five-year STWP.  Successful completion of the STWP and Plan update processes results in extension of a jurisdiction's Qualified Local Government (QLG) status.  The QLG is linked to eligibility for state grants, loans and permits. Coastal Georgia RDC staff assists in the development of plans and STWPs and review these documents for completeness and compliance with data requirements and consistency with the Regional Plan.  In addition, the plans are reviewed for the presence of potential conflicts with the plans of neighboring jurisdictions, as well as opportunities for regional solutions to common issues identified in two or more local plans.
