Community Planning Month

Community Planning Month is observed nationally throughout the month of October, and the City of Valdosta is hosting several events to recognize the importance of meaningful civic engagement in producing thoughtful local planning. "Civic Engagement" is this year's theme, which underscores the necessity of engaging the public, elected officials, and key leaders in discussions that shape the future of our cities.

The City of Valdosta's Planning and Zoning Division is responsible for several aspects of community planning, including historic preservation, long-term growth, current development and zoning. The division works closely with other departments such as Engineering and Utilities, as well as planners in the Greater Valdosta community, to ensure future infrastructure improvements are consistent with the city's Comprehensive Plan.

See Valdosta City Calendar for events.
