statement of estimated fiscal impact

Explanation of Fiscal Impact

Local Expenditure

This bill adds Fort Gordon to the definition of federal military installations for the purposes of local government planning and development. Pursuant to Section 6-29-1620, a local government must take into consideration the needs of a local military installation when planning developments near the installation. While Fort Gordon is located in Augusta, Georgia, it is located close enough to Aiken County to potentially impact the county's local planning and development. RFA contacted Aiken County to determine the potential impact this bill may have for the county. Aiken County anticipates that any land use planning or regulations the county implements would not have any impact on Fort Gordon. Therefore, this bill will have no local expenditure impact.
