Meeting Notes

Short Term Work Program

In order to maintain Qualified Local Government (QLG) status every local government in Georgia must have an approved and adopted Short Term Work Program (STWP) for implementation of their Master Plan. The STWP outlines and schedules specific actions that the City intends to take to address the needs and goals identified in the plan. In short, the STWP is the “to-do” list that resulted from the Master Plan process.
 
The STWP is updated online on an irregular basis - if you're looking for a more up-to-date version than what is posted here, please contact us at feedback@cityoftybee.org to let us know! Download the last STWP update here.
