Public Meeting Set for Tuesday, Nov. 27, on the Master Plan for Downtown Athens, Ga.

The 6pm meeting will be held in the Parthenon Room of the Classic Center.

 

After weeks of talking with various groups, property owners and other stakeholders, the University of Georgia team that's creating a downtown master plan is holding a public meeting Tuesday on the plan. The Athens Downtown Development Authority hired UGA Professor Jack Crowley to design the plan, and he has in turn gotten graduate students involved.

Open to the public, the Tuesday meeting will begin at 6pm in the Parthenon Room of the Classic Center. It will focus on three topics the team has heard repeatedly in the course of their discussions: public space, the river district and transportation + access. The meeting will also include electronic polling, work sessions and group brainstorming presentations.
