As citizens in Florida, we face a whole host of issues that directly affect everyday life including everything from where we live and work, to how we get around, how we protect our environment, where we get our drinking water from, and where our children go to school. These issues and many more like them are highly complex and are very often interlinked.
Because these issues are so complex and have a direct impact on our quality of life, the State of Florida mandates that all cities and counties create and maintain a Comprehensive Plan to address them. Comprehensive Plans guide the decision-making processes for all local governments and strive to create better communities and a higher standard of living for citizens.
