Lawrenceville adopts Livable Centers Initiative Plan 5-year update

The Lawrenceville City Council adopted the Livable Centers Initiative Plan 5-Year Update at Monday’s council meeting. The plan was preliminarily approved by the Atlanta Regional Commission to satisfy the five-year update requirement.

The LCI program encourages local governments to create plans that link transportation improvements with land use development strategies to create mixed-use communities. Goals include supporting mixed-use development, providing a mix of transportation options and using a community-based planning process. In addition, the primary goals for downtown Lawrenceville include organizing the downtown study area into a series of character areas around the Courthouse Square, ensuring that walking within downtown is safe, convenient and enjoyable. It must also create a sense of place through quality architecture that responds to Historic Lawrenceville and is unique to the downtown area.
