Habersham County GA Agenda 21

Habersham is tucked in the Northeast corner of Georgia.  This is a rural county with 7 cities and a population of 44,000 living on 280 square miles.  Almost one third of the county is National Park land and another one third is planned to be unoccupied (see Habersham Comprehensive Plan 2029 page 56).  They have a small state prison and unemployment is reported as 10% county-wide, which actually means 20%.  Local government is immersed in Agenda 21 corridors, buffer zones and platinum plans, but county revenue is only about $22 million and they want to issue bonds and go into debt.

There seems to be no interest in putting their land to productive use to grow their economy.  They’re stuck in picturesque rural syndrome, thinking they can be a tourist attraction or a retirement Mecca. The Land Use Plan does include room for subdivision development, but with 20% real unemployment, who is going to buy a house ?   They do have some manufacturing, but I would bet they rely too heavily on government public sector, utility and service employment.  If they don’t scrap their UN Agenda 21 Land Use Plan 2029, they will cripple the county. This county, like most counties, needs manufacturing jobs and growth in agricultural and mining and logging activities.  The national forest should be given back to the county and put into production.

If you Google Habersham GA eminent domain, you get multiple sites for lawyers.

Developing a strong economic base requires that we increase production of whatever is in demand and do it at a competitive cost.  Government is pulling us the other direction. Construction is the result of the increase in demand that we fill, not the cause. Jobs won’t return until regulatory overreach is pared back and Comprehensive Land Use Plans are ripped out and burned.
