SUWANEE - The City of Suwanee will officially kick off its second update to the Downtown Master Plan at a community meeting at City Hall at 6:30 p.m. March 5th. Originally adopted in 2002 and last updated in 2009, the Downtown Master Plan provided the foundation for development of Town Center.
This Downtown Master Plan update, which will include a market analysis, design planning for targeted areas, and other opportunities for public input, is intended to determine the kinds of development that will be appropriate for downtown.
"The original Downtown Master Plan," says Planning Director Josh Campbell, "was one of the biggest factors in transforming Suwanee into what it is today. Hopefully, this update will have similar transformative effects. As the economy is picking up, we anticipate significant development opportunities over the next several years. Downtown Suwanee is by no means a finished product, and we re looking forward to broadly programming additional pedestrian-oriented, mixed uses in the area while respecting the character of what we already have. "
In addition to considering specific development opportunities in the downtown area, the plan will focus on transportation, open space, and connectivity. The area in the study covers Town Center and Old Town and includes the entire Downtown Development Authority area.
