News Decatur development, uhm, developments?
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Thu, Oct 9, 2008 at 2:24 PM
Decatur Metro's all over the latest smart-growth shenanigans in his burg. First, there's the news that the celebrated Otis White of Civic Strategies will sit down with nearby residents and developers of the controversial 315 W. Ponce project to help the two groups work out the kinks. (The developer recently postponed a requested commission hearing because of an uproar over parking at the proposed mixed-use development. Read the harrowing account of the late-night public hearing here.) The meeting's scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in Decatur City Hall.
Next, one of the same groups that help concerned residents rally against the 315 W. Ponce project's scope has focused its attention on Trinity Triangle near bustling downtown. There's an interesting conversation going on there about the debate.
