The Comprehensive Plan survey is open, and we'd like to hear from you.

The City of Kennesaw is updating its Comprehensive Plan, a long-range vision that will guide growth and development through 2047. Your feedback will help identify community priorities for topics including housing, transportation, parks and recreation, infrastructure, conservation, land use, and more.

Please note: This survey is separate from the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) Study survey. While the LCI Study focuses on the Cobb Parkway corridor and Downtown Kennesaw, the Comprehensive Plan looks at the future of the entire city.
