Whether you are starting your first small business, building a new subdivision, or bringing new commercial development into Evans, we do have some guidelines you need to follow. We’re ready at your convenience to meet with you and give you feedback on your ideas and plans, and help you to accomplish your goals. We know your time is valuable, and that time is money during construction and development. Our guarantee to you is to make the process as quick and painless as we can. Our guidelines and regulations for development were designed to provide high quality opportunities to live and work in Evans.

The Comprehensive Plan is a blueprint for the City to follow as we grow in the future. We want to make sure that we have enough land for people to build homes, for businesses to locate and expand, and for the necessary manufacturing and other industrial uses to develop. This blueprint is a 20+ year plan that gives our best assumptions about what the future might bring to Evans, and allows us to talk about land uses, railroad uses, highway expansions, annexations and other issues. This document was adopted by the City Council on February 16, 2010 and will be updated every few years.
