Resource Teams

Program Description | Publications | Contact Information

Resource Teams help Georgia’s communities focus on building a climate of success through effective implementation of their local comprehensive plan. Our staff can help your local government work toward long-term community vitality and economic health through our Resource Teams. We will analyze and address specific issues within your community and provide recommendations based on our findings.

Resource Team assistance involves the following:

DCA staff visit the community to meet with staff and elected officials and tour the project area. We will agree, with the community, on the products to be provided by the team.
After this initial visit, the team will develop the agreed-upon products.
The team will return to the community to present the results and outline the next steps for the community to implement the team’s recommendations.
The usual Resource Team assistance time frame is 3-6 months. Project length will depend on the complexity of the initial request.

Typical types of Resource Team assistance include:

Assistance with implementing selected projects from the Community Work Program portion of the local comprehensive plan.
Developing strategies for improving conditions in a target area identified in the community’s local comprehensive plan.
Review of local land development regulations for consistency with the community’s local comprehensive plan and suggesting needed updates of these regulations.
