County's comprehensive plan update available at open house today

Whitfield County will host a Comprehensive Plan Update Open House today from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Whitfield County Courthouse in the lower atrium area.

Community planners along with county staff will present a draft of the county Comprehensive Plan Update 2008-2018 Community Agenda. The update covers unincorporated Whitfield County and the cities of Dalton, Tunnel Hill and Varnell.

The open house format allows participants to drop in at their convenience and stay as little or as long as they wish, according to Marty Sewell, senior planner and project coordinator for MACTEC Engineering and Consulting Inc., the firm hired by the county to oversee the planning process and prepare the plan.

“We’ll have the Community Agenda document, including large scale maps, available for the public to review,” Sewell said. “In addition, our planning team will be on hand to speak individually with attendees about their concerns and to answer specific questions they might have.”

Following the Open House, the county will post a digital copy of the Community Agenda on the county Web site www.whitfieldcountyga.com. A paper copy will be available for review in the Board of Commissioners office in the courthouse.
