Grant Will Bring Gateway to Woodstock

In 2002, the City of Woodstock was awarded a grant through the Atlanta Regional Commission's Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) program to fund a planning effort to revitalize Downtown Woodstock. Through this planning initiative, residents and businesses came together to envision a vibrant, walkable town center, and the course toward realizing that vision was set. As a result of this intense planning process, today's residents and visitors enjoy an active and award-winning downtown area, with a variety of housing options, world-class dining experiences, specialty shops, and a character that is uniquely Woodstock.

This past January, City of Woodstock leaders received exciting news that Woodstock was selected as a recipient of another LCI grant; as a result, a new planning process is under way to enhance the Highway 92 gateway into our city! A consultant team led by The Sizemore Group, an Atlanta-based architecture and planning firm, has been engaged to guide the process and set forth a new plan for the Highway 92 corridor from I-575 to Main Street.

Through the coming months, the consultant team will examine existing conditions in the area, including transportation and mobility issues, planning and urban design features, and market demand. Additionally, Mayor Donnie Henriques and the Woodstock City Council, City staff, and the consultant team will collaborate with residents, business proprietors, property owners, and other stakeholders through an extensive public outreach effort to identify the vision and future needs for this critical gateway into Woodstock. When the information stage of the project concludes in late 2014, Woodstock will have a comprehensive plan for Highway 92, with clearly defined goals, objectives, and a step-by-step action plan to guide future development, infrastructure improvements, and policy initiatives.

Downtown Woodstock is a spectacular example of what can happen when residents, businesses, and local leaders come together with a shared goal of creating something special. Now, we have a tremendous opportunity to expand the success of downtown to Highway 92 and to establish a gateway into Woodstock that is inviting and truly reflective of our dynamic community!

More information about the project and the public kickoff meeting, planned for mid-August, is forthcoming. Check the City of Woodstock website, WoodstockGa.gov, for project updates. Also, "like" Woodstock Planning on Facebook to find out more about how you can be involved!
