The Bureau of Statistics and Plans Announces a Second Extension of Public Comment Period for the 2050 Guåhan Sustainability Plan

HAGÅTÑA, Guam – The Bureau of Statistics and Plans (BSP) is announcing a second extension of the public comment period for the draft 2050 Guåhan Sustainability Plan (GSP). In accordance with the requirements of 5 GCA § 1205, BSP conducted two public hearings on the draft 2050 Guåhan Sustainability Plan (GSP) on February 12, 2026, at the Hågat Mayor’s Office and February 25, 2026, at the Dededo Mayor’s Office.

To ensure that all residents have ample opportunity to review the document and contribute to the island’s long-term strategic vision, BSP is extending the comment period by 27 days. This will make the new deadline to submit comments to Friday, May 22, 2026 by 5:00 pm.

The 2050 GSP serves as a comprehensive framework for Guam’s future, addressing critical areas such as economic resilience, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. This plan also acts as the official update to the Guam Comprehensive Development Plan (Kabales), as mandated by Public Law 35-110.
