Downtown Savannah 2033
In 15 years, Savannah will celebrate the 300th anniversary of its founding by General James Oglethorpe. In order to take advantage of and prepare for this landmark event, a unique, community-led effort has produced a vision for how downtown Savannah can grow and change over the next generation. The plan creates a bold vision to enhance and extend Savannah’s unique network of public space, rethink the greater downtown’s transportation system and accommodate the demand for urban living. A group of community leaders and plan participants will present and discuss the vision, the struggles of growth in a historic community, and what else the Savannah community needs to be considering as it looks toward 2033.
