| In accordance to the State of Georgia’s Service Delivery Strategy law, local governments are encouraged to keep their SDS accurate and up to date. The purpose of the SDS is to provide an action plan for the County, supported by ordinances and intergovernmental agreements, to resolve land use conflicts. Counties and their municipalities are required to periodically amend/revise the existing SDS so it will always be current and reflect the locally preferred delivery. | ||
