The Department of Planning and Community Development facilitates the physical development of the City of Florence and its hinterlands. From preservation of historic areas and green spaces, to well-designed neighborhoods and commercial development, the citizens of Florence have set a high standard for the quality of life we all enjoy.
It is our mission and responsibility to uphold these values by providing for the orderly growth, development, and redevelopment of the City of Florence through policy recommendations, thorough planning, and management of developed plans and projects.
