• Round 2: Plan Development (October to December 2025): The second round will focus on the plan development and sharing the findings of economic, fiscal, and infrastructure investments needs to inform community policy discussions.
• Round 3: Deliverables & Adoption Prep (January to May 2026): The final round will provide opportunities to review the draft plan before it goes to public hearings and formal adoption.

  • Summary & Feedback

The City of Roswell adopted its 2040 Comprehensive Plan on October 12, 2021. This plan provides long-range policy direction for land use, transportation, economic development, housing, public facilities, inter-governmental agreements, and natural/cultural resources.

The plan was developed by a variety of stakeholders including elected officials, city staff, a comprehensive plan advisory committee, regulatory agencies, a consultant team led by Pond & Company, and the general public. A Future Development Map (PDF) is included in the Plan and serves as a graphic representation of the type of development that the City desires. This map identifies different character areas of the City and is accompanied by a narrative description of each area which includes a vision/intent, design principles and goals.
