Thomasville Blueprint 2028
Thomasville, Georgia is looking to the future with a resolve to diversify its economy, increase employment opportunities, celebrate its history and culture, improve the health of its residents, increase affordability, and upgrade its quality of life.
Dover, Kohl & Partners was commissioned by the City of Thomasville in 2017 to create a Comprehensive Plan for the city. Thomasville Blueprint 2028 is a plan created through an inclusive, participatory public process that presents both a grand vision and a practical plan to accomplish goals in each of these areas.
A series of Travelling Workshops were held in May 2017 along with a week-long Charrette that September to draft the key community goals and vision for the future of Thomasville. The draft plan is encompassed in three books, Building Place, Building Community, and Making It Happen.
The plan was unanimously approved in July 2018. The city is moving forward with plan implementation, including seeking to update the land development regulations with a Form-Based Downtown Code.
