The Better Hometown Program is an independent self-help program designed to improve the quality of life within the city; this is accomplished through careful planning and implementation. Population is generally between 1,000 to 5,000. The program allows many different partners to work together for a shared goal; city improvement.

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs assists in developing programs and stimulating the downtown revitalization process by guiding the community to develop strategies for improvements and economic revitalization.

The Better Hometown Program is developed and operated by our city. We set our standards and respond to the urgency of improvements as we see the need. The process has become a way of life within our community. Social Circle, GA is proud to be a part of the Better Hometown Communities and is committed to a higher standard of growth, development and improving the quality of life.
