The Muscogee County School District has planned a tour of a site in Atlanta
designed by Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates, which is similar to the
proposal for property at 3012 Macon Road (Old Columbus Square Mall Site). The
Tour is scheduled for Saturday, June 18, 2005 leaving from the Library parking
lot at 7:30a.m.
I urge you to go on this visit/tour if your calendar permits. Please let me
know by Tuesday, June 14, 2005 if you will be available.

Subject: The Midtown Project
Liz,
The School Board and Superintendent of Education would like to invite the
Mayor, City Manager, City Council Members and anyone else who would like to
tour a site designed by Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates similar to a
proposal for the property at 3012 Macon Road, jointly owned by the Muscogee
County School District and the City of Columbus. We will also have those from
the Midtown Project group attending.
At its last meeting the Board endorsed the concept of developing this property
and to proceed with discussions and negotiations with the City of Columbus.
The tour site is the Vickery Plan in Cumming, Georgia. It has been implemented
by the firm of Tunnell-Spangler-Walsh & Associates covering 210-acres. The
Vickery project is made up of a Town Center, YMCA, Library, Fire Station,
Retail, and Work/Live Units.
A tour of this Community Project is scheduled for Saturday, June 18, 2005. We
would leave Columbus at 7:30 a.m. from the new Columbus Library parking lot to
arrive around 11:00 a.m. We will meet TSW representatives and Planners on
location. (Lunch will be provided.)
We are really excited about this venture and hope that Council and others can
join us. I am planning for transportation so, please let me know who would
like to attend this Community Project with us as soon as you know.
Thank you again.
