Executive summary: The River Valley Community Compatible Development Plan, A vision for compatible use supporting the communities around Fort Moore, Georgia
The River Valley Community Compatible Development Plan reflects a strategy to promote economic development and prosperity in the River Valley region of Georgia and Alabama while preserving the landscape and land uses that align with Fort Moore’s military mission and protect the region’s natural resources. A key goal of this project is to maintain the region’s rural character and support a good quality of life for area residents. This plan is the culmination of a two-year effort involving a team from the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government, the River Valley Regional Commission, Fort Moore and its Army Compatible Use Buffer partners, and six rural counties around Fort Moore: Marion, Chattahoochee, Stewart, Taylor, Talbot, and Russell.
