ECFPC presents draft McIntosh comprehensive plan; summary due by month's end

Representatives from ECFPC presented a draft comprehensive plan to the McIntosh Town Council at a workshop on Feb. 17, outlining statistics on housing, demographics and land use and summarizing community survey results.

During the presentation, Mo Morrison reviewed statistics drawn from the U.S. Census and other databases, and Sabastian presented the results of the plan's public survey and conducted a question-and-answer session with council members and attendees. John reviewed proposed revisions and the firm's recommendations for the plan.

Council leadership recorded in the meeting roll call included President Jones, Vice President Mullikin, Councilor Deaderick, Councilor Ciotti (absent), Councilor Medeiros and Mayor Scott. The agenda also listed time for manager, mayor, attorney and council comments and for citizen comments; the transcript does not include substantive detail for those items.

ECFPC told the council it would provide a written summary of the revisions and recommendations by the end of the month. There were no formal motions or votes on the comprehensive plan reported in the transcript.

Why this matters: A municipality's comprehensive plan shapes future land use, housing policy and investment priorities; the draft's statistics and survey findings will inform council decisions and any subsequent ordinance or regulatory changes.

Next steps: The council will receive ECFPC's summary of revisions and recommendations by the end of the month. No vote or formal adoption was recorded during the Feb. 17 workshop.
