Get (and Stay) Involved

Community engagement was the foundation of the Smyrna Downtown Redevelopment process. Throughout this process, there were several opportunities to give us your feedback about downtown, both online and in person.

  • Attend one of our Community Meetings

    Three Public Meetings will be held at key milestones over the course of the planning process to inform the public, gain insight, and build support for the plan’s outcomes. These meetings will occur once during each phase of work and will serve as an avenue for the Planning Team to share the work process to date, have discussions with attendees, and host interactive activities to gather feedback.
