In a recent management report released by the city, Sugar Hill noted two planning studies currently underway. Bleakly Advisory Group is performing research and analysis on demographic and market patterns along the Buford Highway and Highway 20 corridors.
The information gathered from these studies will assist in the development of a cohesive vision for the future development of each corridor. Planning staff will lead the city’s leadership team in visioning exercises for the Buford Highway study while TSW, a full-service planning firm, has been contracted to lead the visioning and planning exercises for the Highway 20 study. Results from the Buford Highway study are expected within the next couple of months.
In addition to these two studies, Sugar Hill’s planning staff has coordinated with the Downtown Development Authority to submit a funding request to conduct a major update to the city’s Downtown Development Master Plan. If approved, funding would come from the Atlanta Regional Commission Livable Center’s Initiative program. Awards for funding the major plan update should be announced by February.
