The master plan, a first of its kind for the downtown Sumter area, com- plements the 2040 Comprehensive Plan that is also in the process of being up- dated from the 2030 plan and an afford- able housing study. It is a blueprint and guide that outlines uses for the area in terms of live, work and play amenities for residents and visitors. A kick-off meeting was held in Feb- ruary, and a series of public drop-in sessions and open houses were held in April where the community was invit- ed to give input, which was then incor- porated into a layout designed by the project’s consulting firm, TSW. An on- line public survey was also available. Attendees on Monday will be able to see the culmination of the effort. The consultants have created recommen- dations on land use and design, trans- portation, aesthetics and other fea- tures. A main goal they took from pub- lic and stakeholder input through the process was to create a civic green to include 2.02 acres of park between the library and judicial center and behind the courthouse featuring a lawn, am- phitheater, splash pad and shared, walkable streets as well as a recom- mendation to incorporate 400 new resi- dential units in various sizes and for various groups of residents, from apartments to condos to single-family houses.
