The DCA Planning Day at the Capitol is an event hosted by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to recognize PlanFirst Communities at the Georgia State Capitol. PlanFirst is a program that acknowledges cities and counties in Georgia for their excellence in community planning and implementation of their comprehensive plans.



During this event, representatives from newly designated and re-designated PlanFirst Communities are honored by state leaders, including DCA officials and Georgia legislators. The event provides an opportunity for these communities to highlight their planning successes, network with state officials, and discuss policy initiatives that impact local planning and development. It also serves as a platform to emphasize the importance of strong, proactive planning efforts in fostering sustainable growth and economic development in Georgia.
