Public meeting Jan. 29 to discuss downtown revitalization and redevelopment planning

[January 14, 2013]  There will be a public informational meeting on Jan. 29, from 5 to 6:30 p.m., in the Pegram Room of the Lincoln Public Library. The meeting will be an open house format, with a short presentation to be given at 5:30 p.m.

The purpose of the public meeting is to present the preliminary Downtown Redevelopment Plan to residents, local business owners and community leaders. The plan focuses on the downtown business environment, including a land-use plan, and an economic development and business plan.

All residents are encouraged to attend this public informational meeting.

The planning team is also in the process of developing a Downtown Revitalization Plan which makes recommendations on specific physical improvements to downtown Lincoln, including streetscape improvements, a conceptual plan for the public parks and courthouse square, parking and traffic plans, historical façade improvements, and a historical preservation plan.

Information about the Downtown Revitalization Plan will presented at a second public informational meeting at a later date. An announcement regarding the second informational meeting will be provided in the local news media and on the project website: http://explorelogancounty.com/
