Sources.................................................................................................................................................278 Preface 8 | Preface One of the fundamental responsibilities of local government is planning and the preparation of plans. Planning is the word we use to describe how a community shapes and guides growth and development. Some people call this process “city planning,” “urban planning,” or sometimes “land use planning.” The results of planning are contained in documents we call “comprehensive plans” or “growth management plans.” Effective planning ensures that future development will occur where, when, and how the community and local government wants. There are several important benefits to the entire community that result from the planning process: • Quality of life is maintained and improved. • There is a vision, clearly stated and shared by all, that describes the future of the community. • Private property rights are protected. • Economic development is encouraged and supported. • There is more certainty about where development will occur, what it will be like, when it will happen, and how the costs of development will be met. In order to provide for better consistency and coordination between local governments in this vital activity, the State of Georgia has passed laws and regulations to guide communities in the preparation of their plans. The Office of Planning provides variety of useful tools and resources to help local governments comply with these requirements. To encourage local governments’ engagement in comprehensive planning, Georgia incentivizes it by allowing cities and counties with Department of Community Affairs (DCA)-approved comprehensive plans access to a special package of financial resources to aid in implementing their plans. This includes Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), water and sewer loans from the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority (GEFA), economic development funding from the OneGeorgia Authority, and a variety of other programs from DCA and partner agencies. Eligibility Comprehensive Plan Process Preface | 9 for this package of incentives is called Qualified Local Government (QLG) status. The Envision Augusta Comprehensive Plan is the official document that guides the future of Augusta- Richmond County. It spells out a coordinated, long-term planning program for the city. The plan lays out a desired future for the city and guide how that future will be achieved. The Comprehensive Plan is being updated in accordance with the Minimum Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning administered by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs. The plan document lays the groundwork for establishing a clear vision, identifies community goals and serves the following functions: • It lays out a desired future for Augusta-Richmond County. • It guides how that future will be achieved. • It formulates a coordinated long-term planning program. The plan document also addresses issues regarding transportation, economic development, cultural and natural resources, and land use in a coordinated manner and serves as a guide for how: • land will be developed • housing will be made available • jobs will be attracted and retained • recreational facilities will be improved • public services and facilities will be provided In conjunction with the county’s Service Delivery Strategy, the comprehensive plan document becomes a powerful resource for elected and appointed officials as they deliberate development issues and convey policy to their respective citizenry. 10 | Preface In 1736, British General James Edward Oglethorpe had surveyor Noble Jones lay out the first forty lots for what would become Augusta. In taking this action, Oglethorpe was motivated in part by a desire to control the fur trade, which was already flourishing at Fort Moore on the South Carolina side of the Savannah River. Named in honor of Princess Augusta, wife of the Prince of the Wales, the city developed as a trade center (fur, tobacco, cotton) and gateway for new settlers heading west to other parts of Georgia. Richmond County, one of the eight original counties in Georgia, was formed from St. Paul’s Parish in 1777. The county was named in honor of the Duke of Richmond, Charles Lenos, a friend of some of the settlers in America. Columbia and McDuffie Counties were later formed from parts of Richmond County. During the American Revolution, the British used Augusta as a communications center. When Light Horse Harry Lee captured Augusta in 1781, the British had to relinquish their claim to most of Georgia. Augusta then served as the capital of Georgia from 1785 to 1795. Tobacco was the dominant cash crop in the early years of the county. The invention of the cotton gin made cotton a more profitable crop than tobacco. Eli Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, built one of his early prototypes on Rocky Creek in the county. By 1820, the Augusta area was the terminus for riverboats, barges, wagon trains, and traders carrying staples and produce to be shipped to overseas markets. During the Antebellum period, area residents began to realize the importance of processing and manufacturing goods made from cotton and other crops. In 1834, John Schley located a factory, called Belleville, on Butler Creek. In the same year, William Schley, George Schley, and Daniel Cook built Richmond Factory on Spirit Creek. In 1845, the Augusta Canal was constructed through the western part of the city to handle barge traffic and provide a power source for industry. By 1850 two flourmills and one textile mill were located on the canal. The development of the steam locomotive engine fostered the creation of the Georgia Railroad Company in 1833 and the construction of a railroad line from Augusta to Athens. Additional railroad lines were built in the following years. Augusta-Richmond County History Preface | 11 The canal, the mills and other industries in the Augusta area were important to the Confederate war effort. The Confederate Powderworks, said to be

For a property to be eligible for the HTC Program it must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places, or be located in a registered historic district. Fortunately for the JC Penney Building, the 700 block of Broad Street is located within the Augusta Downtown Historic District, which makes this building eligible for all programs of the National Register.

  • 5. Airport Roles
    5. AIRPORT ROLES As part of GDOT’s prior airport system plans, criteria were identified to assign each airport in the state system to a role or level. In Georgia, airport levels generally reflect the type of users each airport accommodates and the facilities and services that the airport has in place. Levels also typically reflect the airport’s relative importance, as it relates to meeting the state’s transportation and economic needs and objectives. Further, airport levels are often matched to the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of the communities the airport serves. This chapter of the update to the Georgia Statewide Airport System Plan (GSASP) provides the following: • Review of current airport roles. • Comparison of Georgia state airport levels/roles to roles for Georgia airports established by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in their ASSET Study or National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems (NPIAS). • Discussion of the need to consider change to current airport levels. • Recommendations for changes to current airport levels. Chapter 6, Airport Facility and Service Objectives, examines the ability of each airport to meet facility and service objectives that are applicable to each airport’s recommended level. 5.1 Factors That Influence Current Roles for Georgia Airports Levels for Georgia airports were established in the 2002 GSASP; the following factors were considered in the 2002 system plan to assign Georgia airports to a level: • Coverage: Percentage of the state contained in an airport service area. This factor included the establishment of a 30-minute service area for each airport via a geographic information system (GIS) drive time analysis.
