Pike Street Covington, KY 41011 Dear Mr. Johnston: We are extremely excited for the opportunity to support the City of Covington in a community-driven consensus building process to realize an implementable vision for the 23 acre IRS property and surrounding context. We understand this vision should include great public space and quality mixed-use development, so we have assembled a team of experts best suited to position you to achieve your goals.

We have brought the right individuals, experience, and strategies to help contribute to your success, and have given careful consideration to your stated goals in assembling the right team for the City of Covington for this once in a lifetime project opportunity. We see the following items are imperative to making your project a success: 1. Coordinating a process to achieve community buy in and consensus 2.

We look forward to crafting a strategic engagement and communication plan with the City. We understand you are looking for innovative design solutions that can be built. Our planning team often inherits master plans that may look good, but do not function or meet the market realities. We are able to utilize our knowledge of best practice urban design solutions, integrated mixed-use architecture, and the lat- est national trends in specific building types to make those plans work and build real value in communities. Sincerely, Cooper Carry Kyle Reis, AICP, LEED AP Director of Planning Associate Principal ATLANTA NEW YORK WASHINGTON DC | coopercarry.com RIVERPLACE GREENVILLE, SC RiverPlace is a public / private, multi-phased, mixed-use development located in downtown Greenville, South Carolina and is named for its adjacency to the Reedy River. Located on a 10-acre site at the southern edge of the central business district (CBD), RiverPlace is the single largest development in the City’s history. The development has spurred the revitalization of historic West End and additional development south of the Reedy River. Residents and business owners were very active and involved in many aspects of the design; at public meetings and open charettes.

  • Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction
    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction This document identifies Midtown’s goals, implementation strategies and specific action items that will ensure a rich diversity of land uses, vibrant street-level activity, quality building design, multimodal transportation accessibility and mobility, and engaging public spaces. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 is the most recent evolution of Midtown Alliance’s community driven plan that builds on Midtown’s fundamental strengths and makes strategic improvements to move the District from great to exceptional. It identifies both high priority projects that will be advanced in the next 10 years, as well as longer-term projects and initiatives that may take decades to achieve but require exploration now. Since 1997, policies laid out in Blueprint Midtown have guided public and private investment to create a clean, safe, and vibrant urban environment. The original plan established a community vision for Midtown that largely remains the same: a livable, walkable district in the heart of Atlanta; a place where people, business and culture converge to create a live-work-play community with a distinctive personality and a premium quality of life. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 builds on recent successes, incorporates previously completed studies and corridor plans, draws inspiration from other places and refines site-specific recommendations to reflect the changes that have occurred in the community since the original unveiling of Blueprint Midtown. Extensive community input conducted in 2016 involving more than 6,000 Midtown employers, property owners, residents, workers, visitors, public-sector partners, and subject-matter experts validates the Blueprint Midtown vision for an authentic urban experience. The Action Plan lives with a family of Blueprint Midtown 3.0 documents which also includes: Overview: Moving Forward with Blueprint Midtown 3.0, Midtown Character Areas Concept Plans (coming soon), Appendices: Project Plans and 5-Year Work Plan (coming soon).

  • Atlanta's Plans for Parks Over Highways Get National Attention
    1/4/2019 Atlanta's Plans For Parks Over Highways Get National Attention Atlanta's Plans For Parks Over Highways Get National Attention January 2, 2019 Jarred Schenke, Bisnow Atlanta Atlanta's efforts to create new swaths of green space over its major interstate has taken the national spotlight. The Wall Street Journal reported this week about a push by some city leaders to create decked parks over the Interstate 75/85 interchange through Atlanta, as the region's efforts to woo and retain millennial talent becomes a priority. That chase for millennial talent became a driving topic in Atlanta and other major metro areas as municipalities chased Amazon's second headquarters project. The emphasis on a pool of tech talent became the key factor in what the online retail giant ultimately decided: splitting HQ2 between Long Island City, New York, and Crystal City, Virginia. The WSJ focused on three major plans in Atlanta: The $300M-plus Stitch plan in Downtown Atlanta, the 14th Street Midtown park project being pushed by Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy and a third $250M proposed park covering portions of Georgia 400 in Buckhead. “We decided we needed to reconnect what the interstate disconnected,” Central Atlanta Progress President A.J. Robinson told the Journal. CAP is pushing the Stitch plan and is expected to release a feasibility study later this year. These parks are known to add more green than just from grass and trees, as proven by the greenway over the Woodall Rodgers Freeway in Dallas. Opened in 2012, the $112M, 5.2-acre park sparked both commercial and residential development around it, according to the WSJ.
