Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Lee County, Alabama
Submittal Deadline: May 23, 2008

Lee County, Alabama, one of the fastest growing counties in the state,
is seeking a professional consultant service to develop the county's
first comprehensive land-use plan. 
With the passage of the authorizing legislation in 2007, Lee County
became only the third county in the state of Alabama authorized to
develop a planning commission and land-use and zoning regulations.

The county has experienced tremendous growth over the last several years
and that trend is expected to continue as BRAC impacts the area due to
the county's proximity to Ft. Benning, GA. Lee County not only has
several state highways, federal highways and an Interstate traversing
the county but is also home to Auburn University and several
municipalities including Auburn, Opelika, Smiths Station and portions of
Phenix City.

With the growth and development continuing, it is imperative the county
have a plan to deal with not only current issues but future ones as
well.

*	Transportation 
*	Housing 
*	Conservation and natural resources 
*	Open space and recreation 
*	Economic development 
*	Intergovernmental coordination 
*	Community and cultural facilities
