Jackson Redevelopment Authority in concert with partners 2C Mississippi announced an initial $1.5 million dollar green infrastructure investment in the Farish Street Historic District. Farish Street, sometimes referred to as a Black Wall Street was a center of Black business and culture in Jackson, Mississippi that thrived in spite of the challenges of segregation and racism. Many organizations and leaders of the Civil Rights Movement lived and worked there, making Farish street a symbol of Black socio-political resiliency. With the advent of integration of public schools combined with the systemic underinvestment that followed, the street began to decline. The Farish Street project was chosen by community members based on two factors, (1)the Urban Heat Island data collected for Jackson revealed that Farish Street is an extreme urban heat island, recording 10°F hotter than other parts of the city, and (2) Farish Street has historical significance.

#TerminalTriviaTuesday In 2003 the #BuffaloCentralTerminal was spotlighted on the Preservation League of New York State #SeventoSave list. This list calls attention to historic properties that exemplify challenges facing historic places across the state, like insufficient funding and financial incentives, insensitive public policies, general neglect, disinvestment, and in some cases, demolition. The write up read that "'saving' the former station at this stage will mean the stabilization of the structure and finding a suitable adaptive use that not only results in the rehabilitation of the landmark station, but serves as a catalyst for the revitalization of Buffalo’s East Side neighborhood." Our future is in motion. After years of advocacy alongside partners such as the Preservation League, Urban Land Institute, Empire State Development, and more, this living landmark has finally received the infusion of financial support needed to kick start reuse. With Phase 2 Construction underway now, we are well on our way to reestablishing the Terminal as a lasting cultural and economic hub for the community. . . . . #buffalohistory #historyfacts #preservation #preservationy #historicbuildings #preservationarchitecture #heritage

The passing of Issue 47 is a big win for Central Ohio and keeps us on the path to proactively tackle the expected growth in Central Ohio over the next decade or more. Continuing to invest infrastructure is a smart investment.

Zoning ordinances are very important for planning as they act as a primary tool for local governments to manage land use and essentially, help cities and townships develop in ways that align with the needs and desires of residents by regulating what can be built where. We at Carlisle | Wortman Associates are well versed on the topic and have provided assistance and management on zoning regulations to many of our clients throughout Michigan. Specifically, we helped draft the Pittsfield Charter Township Zoning Ordinance which established provisions to strengthen rural areas and economic vitality of agriculture, preserve and promote strong existing neighborhoods, integrate art and culture into the public realm, encourage public gathering places, and promote higher density mixed use development at six focused areas of the community.
