Santa Rosa County launches East Milton Master Plan Survey to gather public input

The survey is part of the East Milton Master Plan, a long-range planning effort designed to guide responsible growth, land use, transportation, and infrastructure decisions in one of the county’s fastest-growing areas. The goal is to build a vision that reflects the values and needs of the East Milton community — and that vision starts with your voice.
