Everyone Invited to Downtown Community Meetings - September 19, 20 & 22
The Town of Elizabethtown is planning a series of community meetings scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on September 19, 20 and 22 at Town Hall. Participants will provide input and collaborate on a "vision" for downtown development.
Staff from the NC Division of Community Assistance (which is part of the NC Department of Commerce) and engineers from Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates are assisting the Town on this effort. The initial project is funded by a $40,000 grant from the NC Rural Economic Development Center.
The purpose of the "Downtown Enhancement Planning Project" is basically three-fold:
· Create a vision for how we, as a community, would like to see downtown Elizabethtown grow and prosper;
· Analyze the infrastructure needs of the downtown area (including water, sewer, stormwater, sidewalks, parking) and discuss the downtown streetscape; and
· Develop a priority and funding plan so that the community's vision for downtown Elizabethtown can be implemented within a prioritization schedule that is affordable, cost effective, and least disruptive to residents, businesses and visitors. (In addition to public efforts, some communities have had success in this area by complimenting public efforts with private fundraising efforts.)
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ELIZABETHTOWN, SO COME OUT AND BE A PART OF THIS EXCITING COMMUNITY EFFORT!
