Comprehensive Planning
Madison approaches comprehensive planning through a variety of means. First, the city articulates its long term vision and collective expectations in planning documents, such as the Joint Comprehensive Plan, and outlines its requirements and regulations in accessible publications, such as the Code of Ordinances. Second, the city forms cooperative working relationships with engineering professionals and code officials - for example, the Morgan County Building & Inspection Office.
