The Southside Choice Neighborhoods Plan is employing a comprehensive approach to neighborhood planning by revitalizing the distressed Thomas James Place, R.V. Taylor Plaza, and Boykin Tower while investing and leveraging investments in well-functioning services, high quality public schools and education programs, high quality early learning programs and services, public assets, public transportation, and improved access to jobs.
Our planning team is committed to creating a public process that enables all local residents and businesses to participate in the creation of a shared vision. The end result of this planning process will be a Plan to improve the quality of life and safety for current residents. The Choice Plan is specifically related to community conversations. Throughout the planning process, everyone’s ideas will be heard and will come together to create a Choice Neighborhoods Plan.
The process is open and transparent and respects the local culture and history of the community while building off of previous and ongoing planning efforts and neighborhood improvements. The Plan will use a comprehensive approach to neighborhood transformation that places residents and other stakeholders at the core of the effort.
