East Savannah Legacy Project
On March 1-5, 2018, the Congress for the New Urbanism will host two teams of national urban design experts to lead public design workshops in two locations in the city, acting in partnership with local leaders and advocates for East Savannah and Southside. Each Legacy Project culminates in an intensive, three-day workshop on site to explore opportunities, identify crucial roadblocks, engage residents and local stakeholders to share their vision for future growth and help generate top-of-the-line design and placemaking strategies. The East Savannah and Southside Legacy Projects were chosen by CNU based on their need, community support, and readiness to implement.
The East Savannah Legacy Project will be a publicly engaged design charrette to explore the Waters Avenue corridor and discuss efforts to make the neighborhood a Purpose-Built Community. Special areas of focus include transportation connectivity, housing, creation of an economic development district, and services. WHERE:
