As the City of Milton prepares to initiate its first Comprehensive Plan Update process that will outline the city's vision for its future and provide the framework for all future growth over the next 20 years, seven residents are needed to serve on a Citizens Advisory Committee.  This committee - working with the Council, the staff and the broader community - will provide recommendations to help shape the plan over time.  This process is expected to take 12-18 months and will require the involvement and input of the entire community.  This is one of the most critical steps the new City will endeavor upon as the CLUP defines this area for better or worse and includes everything from the types of zoning categories allowed throughout Milton including allowable uses by category while also reaffirming existing policies regarding sewerage, traffic, environmental protection and more.  This is a roadmap to the future of Milton.  Please stay tuned for more details and plan to be very involved in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Update process.  Your opinions do matter and need to be a part of the unfolding process.

Milton's Historic Preservation Committee has named nine sites as Historic to the City of Milton.  Click here to view the current map. In addition to the sites noted, there is an historic resource survey that included over 200 sites that was first documented by Fulton County.  This data survey is available to the City of Milton and is being reviewed by staff and council to ensure all the eligible sites still in existence are noted and incorporated where appropriate.

Please note, too, that the Mayor and City Council will be working towards an Historic Preservation Ordinance which has been an item of interest to the community for a long time and has been a subset of the existing Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Rural Preservation Plan, but which needs specific focus to ensure one is put in place. 

Additionally, please read the recent article in the April 25^th Milton Herald regarding historic preservation and the importance of preserving certain of these structures for the benefit of protecting the sense of place so unique to Milton.
