Plan prioritizes affordable housing, infill, and business recruitment to expand tax base
Summary
The comprehensive-plan update recommends affordable housing, cleanup of dilapidated units, infill in Cusseta, and business recruitment (commercial and light industrial) to improve the tax base and job options; the work program lists related projects and funding sources.
The plan lists housing goals such as providing affordable rental housing, starter and modular homes, applying for DCA housing programs, and cleaning up dilapidated housing stock. It also calls for infill development and targeted incentives to attract businesses and workforce-training programs.
Economic development goals emphasize retention/expansion of existing businesses, recruitment of commercial and light industrial employers, and improved aesthetics along Broad Street and US 280/SR 520 to attract investment. The community work program assigns costs and time frames for housing and economic‑development related activities.
