Community Development

At Watkins & Associates, we understand the unique challenges facing rural communities in South Georgia as they experience growth and development. Our team of engineers is dedicated to assisting local governments with plan reviews, compliance with local, state and federal guidelines, and infrastructure development.

Our services include:

  • Reviewing proposed developments for compliance with local, state and federal guidelines, standards and specifications
  • Issuing site development activity permits (SDAPs)
  • Inspecting active SDAP sites
  • Reviewing preliminary land use applications for compliance with engineering codes
  • Providing assistance for community development projects from initial conception to construction inspection and review

We take a client-centric approach and always prioritize the best interests of the local government. Unlike other consulting engineering firms that may try to serve both the developer and the local government on a single project, we believe in avoiding conflicts of interest by representing only the local government.

Our experience also includes helping cities and counties secure funding through programs such as the Department of Community Affairs Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for various water, sewer, street and drainage improvement projects as well as redevelopment projects. Contact us today to learn how we can help your community enhance its development and infrastructure.
