Oak Ridge is continuing its city improvement efforts with an upcoming Small Area Planning Meeting scheduled for July 16. The meeting is part of the city’s Comprehensive Plan update, which outlines development goals through 2045. Residents, business owners, and other stakeholders are encouraged to attend the session, which will focus on South Illinois Avenue. The meeting will take place from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at The Greens mini-golf facility.
The South Illinois Avenue corridor has been identified as a key area in shaping the future development and character of Oak Ridge. According to a statement from the city’s official website, the July 16 meeting will offer the public an opportunity to provide input on issues such as land use, transportation, and community development. The event will be held at The Greens mini-golf facility, a venue choice aimed at fostering a more relaxed and engaging environment for public participation.
The location for your calendar and GPS is The Greens at 200 Tuskegee Drive, Oak Ridge, TN, and the invitation extends to pretty much anyone with a stake in the city. Experts, staff, and planning consultants will be around to field questions not only about South Illinois Avenue but also the overall vision for Oak Ridge as laid out in the incoming Comprehensive Plan that plots out the city's trajectory on housing, the local economy, and getting from A to B, as detailed by the city's announcement.
