Public Input
Phase 2 of the planning process is the public input portion of the Fort Payne FORWARD Comprehensive Plan. Guidance from the Fort Payne community is gathered through interactions with the project website and Facebook page, the online survey, as well as in-person stakeholder and public meetings. The input helps to guide the creation of specific development goals for the final plan.
