On Thursday, September 25, 2014, Riceboro City Hall will be the site of the fourth of 12 community planning meetings, hosted by the Liberty Consolidated Planning Commission, where residents can offer their input for the next Comprehensive Plan. The meetings will be conducted every month in locations that span from sand hills to salt marshes in Liberty County, Georgia.

The purpose of the community planning meetings is to review recent development trends in the area and receive public input regarding future decision making about land use, zoning and transportation.  The information received from these meetings will be used to formulate the 2040 Liberty County Comprehensive Plan – A guide for the development of Liberty County and its communities during the next 25 years. The Comprehensive Plan will be used by city and county elected officials to make decisions on proposed land use developments, as well as transportation and infrastructure investments.

The staff of the Liberty Consolidated Planning Commission will present current land use maps and environmental constraints to aid in the development of the future land use maps. The Riceboro subarea includes the City of Riceboro and unincorporated areas of Liberty County. The subarea encompasses approximately 43,003 acres of land, with various land use classificaitons, including, but not limited to, residential, commerical, industrial, etc. The information gathered at the meeting will be used to update the future land use map and transportation plans for the City of Riceboro and unincorporated areas of Liberty County. The meeting is open to the public and public participation is desired.
