City of Oakwood, Ga
DOWNTOWN AND COMMERCIAL CENTER DEVELOPMENT
This 20+year plan to re-define the city, from one with an aging housing stock, no defined downtown, and commercial development along the highway, to one with a well-defined downtown which supports a live-work-play environment, an associated commercial center connected through greenways to the other elements of downtown, and planned redevelopment of the existing neighborhoods bordering the proposed downtown area.
This program is part of a master plan for Oakwood, which is meant to create a community and sense of place for Oakwood, and will aim to be a public/ private development showcase for the region. This plan featured a Public / Private development approach to its implementation.
