The Georgetown/North Shallowford Community Area Master Plan is scheduled to go before Dunwoody City Council for adoption on March 28^th.  However, the City isn’t waiting to implement some of the plan’s major recommendations.  Last week, the City of Dunwoody concluded negotiations with Wells Fargo Bank and will acquire a 16.18 acre parcel to create a new community green space.

The parcel is the site of a failed multi-family development bounded by Chamblee Dunwoody Road, North Shallowford Road, Dunwoody Park Drive and three multi-family residential buildings and was one of the major focal points of the Master Plan effort.

Please see the City of Dunwoody press release and local news video regarding the property acquisition for more information.

Urban Collage is beginning a year-long process to work with the citizens and stakeholders of Gainesville to plan comprehensively for the sustainable growth of the city over the next 20 years. The process will include several hands-on workshops focusing on character area improvements, including a number of new Opportunity Zones.

The Feasibility Study and next phases of construction for the Town Branch Trail will be discussed at a final public meeting on December 6, 2010.   Urban Collage was a subconsultant for the Feasibility Study, which explored conceptual trail alignments and corresponding development opportunities in this historic, but challenging, corridor running west from Downtown Lexington.  Urban Collage has worked with Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, a local development entity, Lexington Distillery District, LLC, and a local non-profit, Town Branch Trail, to help define and implement comprehensive improvements along Town Branch Creek through innovative design that celebrates Lexington’s historic roots.
