Continuing to be leaders in Urban Planning the Burns Square Property Owners hired renowned Charter Member of the Congress of New Urbanism Bill Dennis to update the public improvement Master Plan created during the 2005 charrette. Dennis came to the city for four days and worked endless hours, day and night with the property owners and meeting with city staff from engineering, parking and planning. His efforts and input is quite valuable on so many levels and Burns Square is quite appreciative and fortunate he is helping us out.
The Burns Square Property Owners have dedicated thousands of hours and tens of thousands of dollars to study and create visions for this great area of our downtown, which is so loved by everyone. No other part of downtown has been studied as extensively or been given the attention to detail as the Property Owners have brought to the table for Burns Square on their own dime.
Not a bit of taxpayer money went into the volunteer hours or costs for plans the property owners and experts continue to put together to help further its success. The City Commissioners were the first to see the finished drawing. At the request of some city commissioners, the property owners presented the current plan to the entire city engineering department and the entire planning department in July 2007 offering assistance with public improvements. We look forward to working with the city, county and community to help our area continue to be an asset.
