Allison Slocum of the River Valley Regional Commission told the Schley County Board of Commissioners on July 8 that Georgia requires counties to revise and update their comprehensive plans every five years and that Schley Countymust submit its updated plan by June 30, 2026.
Slocum outlined the core elements the state law requires in the plan: community goals; an assessment of needs and opportunities; a broadband services element; and a community work program. She walked commissioners through the process for producing the update and the timeline for public engagement and required submissions.
The presentation matters because the comprehensive plan sets priorities and helps determine eligibility for certain state and federal grants and infrastructure programs. Slocumrecommended steps to ensure the county meets the statutory deadline and covers required elements in the document.
The board did not take formal action on the plan at the meeting; next steps are to continue the update process and meet the June 30, 2026 submission date.
