The Rome-Floyd County Comprehensive Plan is a guide to ongoing growth and development occurring in the City and the County. The Comprehensive Plan identifies goals for the City and County, establishes policies to be used in making decisions, identifies what development types are appropriate in specific areas of the City and County, and proposes implementation strategies for the City and County to use to achieve its goals.  The Comprehensive Plan received final approval on April 8 and is now the adopted Comprehensive Plan for Rome, Floyd County, and Cave Spring.  The Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use maps can be downloaded at http://www.romega.us/ComprehensivePlan.
