ARC to give technical assistance for Town Center initiative
Snellville’s Downtown Development Authority has earned the Atlanta Regional Commission Community Choices Award, giving the city the research power of the ARC to investigate and report on best practices in public-private partnerships. The DDA will utilize this information to determine the best use of the city-owned and currently vacant Wisteria Drive property, as it encourages the larger implementation of The Towne Center plan.
The DDA was awarded $15,000 for a Pop-up Market on May 16 at the Wisteria Drive property across from the Snellville Police Department. The Wisteria Pop-up Marketplace will be a one-day event featuring local entrepreneurs in an effort to draw attention to the location and promote The Towne Center vision.
The research project on public-private partnerships is slated to begin in May using graduate summer interns currently studying city planning or a related field.
