As the historic and cultural hub of Coffee County, Douglas is growing quickly. While building occupancy Downtown is at around 90% and investors are pursuing second story loft developments and entertainment venues, there is also disinvestment due to absentee ownership and neglect. New commercial investment is happening at the south end of town, but several older strip mall developments are on the decline, including a historically African American shopping center. Like many regions, Coffee County is experiencing a lack of available housing options for business executives and management as well as affordable starter homes. Local leaders need housing examples that showcase revitalization potential and appropriate new construction in order to attract investors. The goals of this charrette are (1) to help the community move forward in their decision-making by creating citizen buy-in and an illustrated vision of solutions that address Downtown revitalization, corridor enhancement, and housing opportunities; and (2) to give CED students the opportunity to apply their skills to a community project, work closely with a client, and learn participatory design techniques.
