Preliminary Visit

 On April 17th, the AIA-SDAT team made a Preliminary Visit to our community. Joining J. T. Scott, the architect selected to lead our SDAT team, were two SDAT staff personnel. During the visit, the team toured the community with Steering Committee members and Mayor Brigette Mansell. They met with selected community leaders, planning and economic development officials, and a representative of the local AIA component. The Steering Committee organized diverse groups of citizens, over 100 people, to meet with the AIA team. In five separate gatherings they had conversations focused on Environment, Arts & Culture, Economy, and Governance. The Mayor and City Council also attended the meetings. The AIA group left expressing their enthusiasm about bringing a full SDAT to our City. The date for the SDAT Team Visit was set for August 13-15.
