The Planning and Development Department serves as the City department primarily responsible for all community matters and economic development related matters. We aim to provide quality customer service for land use and economic development projects located within the municipal boundaries of the City or those wishing to annex into the City.
Development Staff works closely with private developers and citizens with land use and business development needs through a variety of informal review methods, customer meetings, hosting Right Starts, and by providing one stop permitting and Project Management Services for all things building permit related.
Planning and Development also works closely with our private and public partners and citizens to build and maintain a high quality of life and a bright future for the citizens of Statesboro.
