2025 Comprehensive Plan Update

The City of Fairburn is embarking on an exciting and essential journey to update its 2025 Comprehensive Plan, a strategic document that will guide the city’s growth and development for the next decade. Residents, business owners, and community stakeholders are encouraged to participate in shaping the vision for Fairburn’s future.

The Comprehensive Plan serves as a blueprint for Fairburn’s future, addressing critical issues such as housing, transportation, economic development, public safety, parks and recreation, and infrastructure improvements. The input gathered from the community will directly influence the policies and projects that will shape the city for years to come.

Why This Plan Matters

The 2025 Comprehensive Plan is more than just a document—it’s a vision for the city’s future, ensuring Fairburn remains a thriving, sustainable, and desirable place to live, work, and visit. The plan is also a requirement by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA), helping Fairburn maintain its Qualified Local Government (QLG) status, which allows access to state and federal funding opportunities for community improvement projects.

“The people of Fairburn are at the heart of this plan,” said Mayor Mario B. Avery. “We want to hear directly from our residents and business owners about what they love about Fairburn and what they want to see improved. This plan will guide everything from economic growth and new businesses to infrastructure and quality of life improvements.”

The 2025 Comprehensive Plan will:

✅ Shape Development & Growth – Ensure smart growth that meets the needs of current and future residents.
✅ Improve Infrastructure & Transportation – Address roads, traffic, sidewalks, and public transit.
✅ Support Economic Growth – Help attract new businesses and create jobs.
✅ Enhance Quality of Life – Improve parks, public safety, and community services.
✅ Secure State & Federal Funding – Keep Fairburn eligible for grants and funding programs.

This plan is a community-driven initiative, meaning your feedback will help shape policies and projects that impact our city.

What Happens Next?

Following the initial community meeting, feedback and ideas from residents will be collected and analyzed to draft an initial version of the plan. Additional meetings and workshops will be held in the coming months to refine the plan before it is finalized and presented for adoption. The entire process is expected to be completed by October 2025.
