This involves a major focus on economic development, public safety and quality of life, Morrison mentioned. The Mount Airy Board of Commissioners voted in November to allocate the $67,000 for the modernized plan, part of a total investment of about $125,000 also involving financial input from the downtown group. The downtown group is working with the city government and the Benchmark planning firm to update a previous master plan from 2004 to guide future investments there (public and private) in a coherent and cost-effective manner. This includes the launching of an online public survey to help steer the plans for the downtown area, according to Lizzie Morrison, Main Street coordinator for the group Mount Airy Downtown Inc., who announced the survey this week.Īmong other concerns, it is giving citizens a chance to weigh in on proposed changes such as implementing two-way traffic on North Street from the present one-way setup.
