POOLER 2040
Pooler’s Comprehensive Plan is the community’s principal guiding or “vision” document—designed to formulate a coordinated, long-term planning program to maintain and enhance the health and viability of the jurisdiction. The Comprehensive Plan lays out the desired future for Pooler, and relates how that future is to be achieved. The plan serves as a resource to both the public and private sector by projecting how land will develop, how housing will be made available, how jobs will be attracted and retained, how open space and the environment will be protected, how public services and facilities will be provided, and how transportation facilities will be improved. In short, Pooler’s Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide for consistent policy direction.
