Last night was our third town meeting for the Moundville Comprehensive Plan. We spent time presenting the next 3 portions of the plan document, specifically the Future Land Use Plan, Transportation and Retail Development sections.
The first two town meetings allowed all of us to hear, participate and discuss the values, ideals and visions for Moundville we all have. These discussions generated an overall Strategic Development Concept that was presented during our last meeting and is written about in Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan Document.
During our third meeting we discussed and showed how the plan builds on the Strategic Development Concept and proposes a system of future land uses and important transportation links to support and allow for the desired retail and future development to succeed. These components of the comprehensive plan are integral to one another. During the presentation we discussed future projects and the expected results from those projects.
One of the important goals of the comprehensive plan, that you will read, is that through the crafting of an overall vision for Moundville, and proposing specific projects to carry that vision out; as projects are planned and built there are multiple interrelated issues and opportunities to capitalize on. Individual projects have a great opportunity to achieve success for many aspects of Moundville through the use of the Comprehensive Plan. As you read through the Comprehensive Plan you will see this concept when we discuss the opportunities for Downtown redevelopment, and its connection to transportation projects along Highway 69 and specifically the intersection of Market Street and Highway 69. This example and additional potential projects deal with issues of perception, business attraction, gateway development, road capacity, access management, respecting health,safety and welfare concerns, property development and potential reinvestment in business and buildings. Looking at all these interrelated issues through the lens of values, ideals and visions that Moundville has expressed and are focusing future projects and developments toward.
