Review a Draft of Decatur’s 2010 Strategic Plan Tomorrow Morning
Decatur Metro | December 3, 2010Do you care about Decatur’s key principles, goals, or long-term land-use plans? Well, you better get yourself over to Agnes Scott tomorrow morning.
As noted on Decatur Next, from 9a-12n tomorrow morning in Rebekah Scott Hall on the Agnes Scott campus, the city’s consultants are hosting an “open house” style event where residents can stop in and review an initial draft of the city’s 2010 Strategic Plan.
And then the best part for those of you with opinions: you get to provide feedback! Here’s the lowdown…
First, we’ll be rolling out a draft of our overall vision and its four key principles. Essentially, these are the broad categories under which we’ll compile our more definitive goals and projects. Your job will be to review them and ensure that, collectively, they capture the spirit of what Decatur residents have been saying over the past eight months. Do they read right? Are they missing anything? You tell us.
Next, you’ll review the goals themselves, making edits as necessary to ensure they’re hitting everything that needs to be hit.
Finally, you’ll have an opportunity to review some long-term land-use plans that consider potential development scenarios for areas of Decatur most likely to experience redevelopment over the next decade.












I attended and recommended they make environmental and green issues more prevelant in the “principals” and “goals” of the City. By green I mean stewardship of our creeks, soil, and trees and the eco system is general. I was very unimpressed by the examples they gave us to review, they very uninspired and basically were choices between more density or less density and how much parking to provide. What sort of vision is that?? By the way, I strongly feel by greening our development we will provide more tax revenue by being a leader in an area that will only become more prevelant in the over the next 20 years. GET WITH IT DECATUR!
