Over the next six months, Auburn is working to update a plan for downtown and immediately surrounding areas, which is being called, “Define Our Auburn, An LCI Study.” The city is seeking input from local citizens to ensure the success of the city’s study. The first meetings will be held virtually at 10:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. on March 31. Morning and evening sessions will include an overview of the planning process and engagement activities to gather additional feedback.

Register to participate at www.tinyurl.com/AuburnMarch31Mtg. The public can also join the live meeting on the City of Auburn, Ga Facebook page.

Residents who you are walking downtown, (a safe social distance from others), are invited to bring a sharpie and write their big ideas for improving Auburn’s downtown on the sign by the caboose in Burel Park.
