Oconee County residents can weigh in virtually on the County’s comprehensive plan: a link on the Oconee County government website takes users to an online portal from which feedback can be provided.  County leaders in Watkinsville are in the process of updating Oconee County’s comp plan, which sets the framework for zoning and land use decisions for the next five years.

From the Oconee Co government website…

Oconee County Government is in the midst of a five-year update to its Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is Oconee County’s  road map for the future. This official, living, county-wide plan is a public document that provides long-range policy direction for land use, transportation, economic development, housing, public facilities, intergovernmental agreements, and natural resources. It serves as a guide for elected and public officials by providing the framework for evaluating development proposals. Included in the Comprehensive Plan are strategies for program funding for many county departments. The last complete update of the Comprehensive Plan was in 2018. The current update will be completed in 2023 and will make the Comprehensive Plan responsive to Oconee’s current and projected needs with a 20-year outlook.

Please visit the Virtual Comp Plan Open House to access information on this update and provide your feedback!
